Tipper semi-trailers, dump semi-trailers

The tipper semi-trailer is a type of open-body semi-trailer equipped with a mechanism enabling dump unloading. It is used for transportation of bulk and loose goods in combination with a tractor unit.

Tipper semi-trailers usually constructively constitute a hopper or flatbed body (less often - a cargo platform) mounted on the frame of the cargo semi-trailer. Dump unloading is carried out by body tipping with the use of a hydraulic hoist. Depending on the model, the tipper semi-trailer can be adapted for one-way tipping (rear or side) or three-way body tipping. It is important to understand that this design allows effectively reducing the time of discharge, as well as eliminating the need to apply additional human or technical resources in this process .

The main purpose of the tipper semi-trailers is to transport bulk and loose goods, which do not require special storage conditions (like other types of open body, it is simply not capable of protecting from the adverse environmental impact). As a result, these vehicles are widely applied, for example, in agriculture and construction, where they are used for transportation of gravel, sand, bricks, soil, etc. In some cases, the dipper semi-trailer can be supplemented with a tent out of thick awning fabric, which helps to protect the working space of the body from precipitation.
