How to use an end dump trailer safely?

1. Check the end dump trailer

Before we use the end dump trailer, we should check the tires, brakes, lights, hydraulic pistons, and tractors to make sure they can work properly.

Once you make sure the trailer is in good condition, you can start loading it. Make sure the loaded goods are evenly distributed to avoid one side being too heavy and overturning.

3. Refuse to overload

Avoid being overweight, which can easily lead to accidents during transportation and may also bring a great impact on the road.

4. Drive the trailer

5. Unloading

Park the end dump trailer on a flat surface, and make sure the ground is flat and hard, otherwise, it will be easy to roll over. Open the rear door and use the control system to raise the hydraulic cylinder until the cargo is unloaded.

(3) Never use the cylinder as semi tipper trailer body support. It will bring problems.

(4) We should load the goods carefully, trying to ensure that weight of the front and that of rear do not differ too much. If the loading is not even, the cylinder will bear too much pressure and it is easy to roll over.

(5) When unloading goods, we must pay attention to the unloading ground to ensure that the flat. Uneven road is particularly prone to roll over.

(6) The wind direction is also an important issue. If the side wind is too serious, it is best to change the trailer’s direction.

(7) The height of the goods should not exceed that of the door, and the goods should not pile up at the end. Otherwise, it is especially prone to roll over.

(8) The operator must not leave the operating position, no standing or walking near the work area.

Chassis

With high strength performance and a complete steel chassis, its body was designed to a particular section that looks like an “i.” And it will not cause an uneven surface because robots conduct all the welding processes.

It can flexibly respond to the distortion and spring by reinforcing with a center sill. The connecting brackets on the chassis side beams will reduce stress by distributing the forces exerted by road conditions on the track group.

With solid road adaptability, it can operate on many worse road surfaces.

Chassis fittings
