What is a Hydraulic Bulk Tipping Kit?
A hydraulic bulk tipping kit is a system that is used to enable a tanker to tip its contents to a specific angle. This system typically consists of a series of hydraulic cylinders and valves that are attached to the tanker and controlled by a hydraulic pump.
The hydraulic bulk tipping kit allows a tanker to be tipped to a wide range of angles, which can be useful in a variety of different situations. This increased flexibility can make the tanker more versatile and can allow it to be used in a wider range of applications.
The installation of the kit can also enable a tanker to unload its contents more quickly and efficiently. This can help to increase the productivity of the tanker and can make it more cost-effective to operate.
What Are The Benefits Of Installing A Hydraulic Bulk Tipping Kit In Tankers?
There are several benefits to installing a hydraulic bulk tipping kit in tankers. Some of the key benefits include the following:
Improved safety: A hydraulic bulk tipping kit allows a tanker to be tipped to a specific angle, which can make it easier and safer to unload its contents. This can help to prevent spills and accidents, and can make the unloading process more efficient overall.
Increased flexibility: With a hydraulic bulk tipping kit, a tanker can be tipped to a wide range of angles, which can be useful in a variety of different situations. This increased flexibility can make the tanker more versatile and can allow it to be used in a wider range of applications.
Enhanced performance: A hydraulic bulk tipping kit can improve the overall performance of a tanker, allowing it to unload its contents more quickly and efficiently. This can help to increase the productivity of the tanker and can make it more cost-effective to operate.
How Is A Hydraulic Bulk Tipping Kit Installed On A Tanker?
To install a hydraulic bulk tipping kit on a tanker, the following steps are typically involved:
- The tanker is lifted using a vehicle hoist or similar lifting equipment to provide access to the underside of the vehicle.
- The hydraulic cylinders and valves are attached to the tanker at appropriate points, such as at the front and rear of the tanker body.
- The hydraulic pump is mounted on the tanker and connected to the hydraulic cylinders and valves using a series of hydraulic hoses.
- The hydraulic pump is then connected to a power source, such as a battery or engine, to provide the necessary power to operate the system.
- The tanker is then lowered back to the ground and tested to ensure that the hydraulic bulk tipping kit is functioning properly.
Installing a hydraulic bulk tipping kit on a tanker requires specialised knowledge and equipment. It is typically best to have the work carried out by a team of professionals, such as our specialist technical team at WG Tanker.
