3.5.4 Dump Truck Bodies
Articulated bearings:
– On 3-way and rear dump truck bodies, position the
rear articulated bearing as close as possible to the
rear axle.
– The lowered tailgate must not strike the end of the
frame, the lighting equipment nor the trailer towing
hitch.
– Provide guide brackets for the front articulated
bearings to guide the articulated bearings when the
platform is lowered.
Safety precautions:
– The arrester cables should hang down slightly in the
end position.
– Install a folding support to prevent the platform from
dropping.
– To prevent an accident, the control elements must be
protected from unintentional operation.
– When the dump body is not completely tilted back into
driving position, the driver must be warned by an
indicator lamp.
Tilting press:
– The press carrier must be secured to cross members
in the mounting frame.
– If possible, align the mounting frame and chassis
cross members with each other.
– Three-way dump truck bodies:
The point of force application of the tilting press
should be in front of the center of gravity of the body
and payload.
Mounting frame:
– The mounting frame must be manufactured of steel,
without joints and with sufficiently large cross
members.
– Close the rear area to the box and reinforce with a
diagonal cross or other suitable method.
– Weld guide plates to the mounting frame in the area of
the cross members to prevent lateral movement.
Disregarding these directions reduces the
operational safety of the vehicle. This can lead to
an accident, and, as consequence, serious injury or
death.
