5th wheel trailer tipper

5th wheel trailer tipper
This new line of 5th wheel trailer tippers are engineered to turn any trailer into a dump trailer at a low cost, and are an ideal alternative to platform hoists, heavy walking floor and belt trailers. These units are ideal for use in scrap metal and demolition yards, and in various applications ranging from vegetables and wood, to refuse and sludge, to bulk sea container cargo. Outriggers measuring 14 feet from centre to centre make dumping very stable, and units have an excellent safety track record.

The tipper on these units is constructed of T-1 steel with radial corners for extra strength, and comes equipped with four-stage cylinders, built-in oil tank, pump filters, oil lines and a Holland 5th wheel. Additionally, very little maintenance is required and the tipper doesn’t detract from the original line of the truck. It tucks neatly away in its lowered position and doesn’t interfere with the operation of the rig on the highway. Mounted, the tipper adds approximately 4,000 pounds, and one trailer tipper at a receiving yard can dump several trailers per hour.
