Finn Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I posted this last evening, but it seems to be among the missing. There was a thread with some discussion about dump trucks and trailers. I tried explaining how the ones operate where I work, but then I had a better idea... The truck and pup pull into position to dump: The pup dumps: The pup gets jack-knifed 90 degrees to the truck: The truck dumps: The truck pulls away with the steer tires cut away from the pile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I've looked at those trucks before, is that the original tipping rams on them Finn?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Those are New-Ray dump bodies, with the original rams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Cheers Finn, I might get one of those sets to have a play around with, I like the look of the trailer you've modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Nice little outfit mate. Tipper outfits like these are making an appearance here now and they do it the same way. Jacknife the trailer round, tip the lorry over the drawbar and then pull round straight and tip the trailer next to the previous heap. Plenty of matting over the drawbars though!!

Finn Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Tris...to us, it's easier to dump the pup first. If you cut hard away from the pile after dumping the truck, the pole gets less crap on it. Today I called my truck a 'lorry' and the disapatcher said "Who?"
