Important Parts of a Tipper Trailer

The body of a tipper trailer is a conventional framework that has a bed with detachable side walls. Conventional designs are usually linked through a rear hinge to frame on which wheels are supported and mounted.

The set-up is then fixed to a guide for the sliding hinge. The front of the bed plate is fitted with features for latching to the tow bar. The bed is again fitted with either a single leg or multiple retractable legs that are used as a table.

The connecting rod is usually hinged at its ends to oscillate at respective axes that are parallel to the trailer axes.

Regardless of the number used, the connecting rods serve to link up the sliding hinge to the parts of the wheel-carrying frame structure. Check figure 2 and figure 3 for more details.

The hinging of the frame is normally done at the rear section and at the same time has the trailer wheels mounted thereon. Shock absorber means could be installed in between the hinged frame and the wheels.

One side of the connecting rod is hinged at the frame. There are blocks that are usually attached to the rear part of the frame and are supposed to touch the ground.

In many traditional designs, the frame is also used to support brake lights, mudguards, indicator lights as well as housings used for receiving a jack as would be needed for wheel changing.
