Know How Custom Designs Have Proved to be Beneficial for Tipper Trailers Typical aggregate loads for vehicles such as tipper trailers include earth and stone and, as these are heavy, multiple axle vehicles are frequently used. Conventionally, rigid vehicles have been the preferred choice for tipper operations. The articulated custom trailer designs and drives well feel stable and have little body roll. It makes for more economical and less stressful operation, as the owner needs to make fewer trips to deliver the same amount of tonnage when compared to an ordinary rigid tipper vehicle. The convenience of Tipper Trailers In recent years, articulated vehicles with tipper semi-trailers have been used in aggregate sector operations, in preference to rigid tippers. The efficiency benefits of this move towards articulation can be demonstrated by examining actual commercial applications. Bulk handling, be it excavation, transport, or delivery, is considered to be the toughest operational segment in the overall materials handling field. The same despite being considered difficult, messy, polluting, and getting classified as ‘ dirty cargo handling’ in ports and other locations, occupies an important slot in the business domain as it contributes significantly to the top and bottom lines of the tipper and tip trailer fleet operators. It was not long ago that trucks with sideboards carrying sand and blue metal for construction were witnessed. However, today the manual unloading route has become history and the same replaced with tippers. Similar has been the case of cement transport, erstwhile transported in bags for concrete work getting replaced by bulkers and tip trailers – same getting increasingly deployed to enhance the handling capacities and contribute to the overall efficacies. Conclusion The mining segment in which tippers were used to carry overburden in the past has in recent times witnessed powerful and rugged tippers being deployed for intermediate and deep mining operations – carrying overburden, iron ore, coal from great depths challenging the off-road dumpers in their lower range.
