Applications
Hydraulic systems by vehicle type
The same cylinder family behaves differently on a 4-axle tipper than on a side-tipping trailer. These are the vehicle types we configure for, with the components that are normally specified.
Hydraulic requirements change with the way a vehicle is loaded, raised and discharged. A construction tipper that empties twelve times a day asks something different from a side-tipping trailer that discharges a full load in one pass. The application pages below group the products we supply by vehicle type.
If your vehicle does not match any of these categories, describe it in the quote form: chassis, body, payload and the movement you need. Selection starts from the mechanics, not from a catalogue page.
Car Carriers
Long-stroke multi-stage cylinders and deck-lift hydraulics for car-carrier trailers and vehicle-transport equipment.
Dump Trucks & Tippers
Front-end telescopic cylinders, centre-lift cylinders, gear pumps, valves and PTOs for rigid tipper trucks and heavy-duty dump bodies working in construction, aggregate and quarry transport.
Semi-Trailers & Low-Bed Trailers
Hydraulic kits, oil tanks, brackets and running-gear parts for semi-trailers, rear-tipping trailers and low-bed transport trailers.
Side-Tipping Trailers
Side-tipping cylinders, multi-way valves and power take-off units for trailers that discharge to the side, including multi-stage and long-stroke configurations.
Tanker & Bulk Transport Vehicles
Power take-off flange kits, pumps and hydraulic components used when tanker and bulk-powder bodies are converted or repaired.
Specifying a system
Four questions we always ask
What lifts?
A tipper body, a side-tipping trailer, a tanker shell or a car-carrier deck each need a different cylinder geometry.
How much load?
Rated payload and body length determine bore size, stage count and working pressure.
What drives it?
A gear pump through a power take-off is the standard solution; an electric power unit is used where no PTO drive is available.
Where does it work?
Mining and quarry work asks for extra protection against dust; high ambient temperature asks for attention to seal material and oil choice.
