Wipro’s stabilising front tipping gears have been designed not only for lifting but also for giving stability during tipping. For this reason, they are well suited for vehicles with long bodies or when the body alone is not rigid enough for stable tipping.

In the JT model, the cylinder is attached to the body with lifting arms that absorb shock during transport. Because of this attachment method only a small space is needed for the tipping cylinder between the cab and the body. This allows the body to be brought further forward to fully utilise the front axle capacity.

The DFC model is equipped with a cover tube with which it is attached to the body. The cover tube prevents contaminants entering the cylinder during driving. The DFC model is suitable for long and flexible bodies because the design and dimensions of the ram tubes provide a great stabilising effect during tipping.

The DFE cylinder is attached from the top directly to the front wall of the body which is the reason it has to be sloped. This attachment method enables the tipping gear to be lightweight, giving improved payloads. The DFE model has the same ram tubes as the DFCmodel. It is also suitable for heavy-duty work which requires increased stability.

Although these tipper models provide tipping stability as well as lifting power, it should be remembered that the main task of the tipping gear is to lift the body with its load. It is not the duty of the tipping gear to maintain the vehicle’s stability when tipping, this is still the responsibility of the driver to ensure he is carrying out the operation in a safe location.
All ram tubes in these tipping gears have been hard chrome-plated. Therefore friction on the seals is minimal, which means a long life for the cylinders. Cylinder tubes are equipped with double seals ensuring no leakage even in sub-zero temperatures.

Because of their reliability, Wipro’s stabilising front end tippers are popular on heavy-duty dump trucks as well as with semi-trailer operations.
