Tipper trailers can be divided into two types: rear dump trailer and side tipper trailer. Dump Trailers are mainly responsible for transportation tasks such as large-scale mines and engineering and are usually used with excavators.

The other type of light, medium, and ordinary Side Tipper Trailer used for road transportation are mainly responsible for the transportation of loose goods such as sand, soil, and coal, and they are usually used in conjunction with loaders.

How to choose a semi tipper trailer?

1. First of all, the materials should be real. The seemingly identical steels are actually divided into high-strength steel, manganese steel, and ordinary carbon steel. Among them, the high-strength steel is divided into 700, 900, 980 and other models. Its durability and strength are gradually improved with the increase of the label. The weight can be gradually reduced, but the cost will also increase.

2. Secondly, the structure of the Side Tipper Trailer design should be reasonable, and the center of gravity of the chassis should be as low as possible. According to the load of the 40t Side Tipper Trailer, the type of cargo, the road conditions and the driving habits of the driver, the system must be planned and designed to meet different usage requirements.

3. Once again, the processing technology of Side dump semi Trailer has to pass, but now with the popularization of mechanical automation, many factories have realized basic automatic operation in the process of vehicle processing, such as cutting and welding, and the production process has generally been greatly improved.

4. In addition, after welding and forming, it is necessary to perform surface sandblasting and rust removal processes, so as to better increase the adhesion of the paint. The spraying of the paint should be uniform and the coverage should be comprehensive. The paint is divided into alkyd paint and high-grade polyurethane paint.

Precautions for driving a dump trailer:

First: Do not suddenly push the lifting handle to the "down position" in the middle of full load lifting.

If this operation error occurs, the car suddenly descends, which will bring a lot of impact to the frame and even an accident. Therefore, the above operations should be avoided as much as possible. If there are special circumstances, you must operate carefully. Slow down the landing speed as much as possible. You must avoid suddenly dropping the carriage to the end.

Second: After the tipper trailer unloads the goods, the power take-off must be disengaged to make the side tipper trailer feasible.

If this operation error occurs, when the semi tipper trailer is running, because the power take-off is in the "engaged" position, the lift oil pump will run at high speed for a long time without load in the "small cycle" state. As a result, the temperature of the hydraulic oil rises quickly, easily causing damage to the oil seal of the oil pump, and even the phenomenon of "burning" of the oil pump; more serious is that the operation of the oil pump means that the hydraulic system has a power source, and it is easy for the cabin to rise automatically during driving accident.

Third: Do not use the emergency brake to unload.

Due to the great inertial force of driving forward suddenly, it is easy to cause permanent deformation of the frame, welding of the carriage and the subframe, burning oil pump or damage to the sealing ring, damage to the hydraulic cylinder, etc. There was a rollover accident. Therefore, it is generally prohibited for side tipper trailer to drive while lifting.

Details of side dump semi trailer

A side tipper is an alternative to the rear tipper. This type of dump truck trailer allows you to offload your goods from the side. Still, you can use it for transporting solid building materials such as sand and stones among others.

The side tipper makes use of hydraulic pumps and hydraulic motors and a dump-bucket to one side. The remaining side gives you the option of opening and locking it during your job operations. The design is meant to allow side dumping and there is a reason for that. You may be forced to do side dumping in areas where there isn’t sufficient space.

In such a situation, lateral offloading can be done using this side tipper. It helps in saving space. Thick steel plates are also put in place to prevent damages that may occur on the trailer with weak plates.  Unlike with the rear tipper, the side tipper is suitable for cargo with a small rest angle. However, the side tipper can load more than the rear tipper.
