Truck Dumpers and Receiving Hoppers
 Our truck dumpers are designed for dependable operation under tough conditions. Proven on the job, our truck dumpers have become the industry standard for this type of equipment. All models feature the advanced engineering and heavy-duty construction that result in fast cycle times, improved productivity and reliable performance.
They feature extra heavy duty decks constructed with fully welded, formed box sections. The formed construction, which uses only sections, results in a lighter, but stronger deck. This type of construction provides superior resistance to torsional and blending stresses. Longitudinal beams beneath each trailer tire support the heavy flood deck plate, eliminating deck flexing. For forced reliability, the oversized rear hinges with high-shear embeds are built to handle loads far exceeding normal requirements.
Chrome-plated to resist corrosionm the heavy-duty cylinders are mounted with the master cylinder above the telescopic stages. This design minimizes cylinder barrel contamination and packing gland damage, because solid debris which may stick to the cylinders is wiped away during descent. The cylinders incorporate universal trunnion mounts with easily accessible replaceable hardened steel bushings.
Fully extended, the cylinders elevate the deck to 63 degrees from horizontal. The higher dump angle and increased dumping speed reduce the need to bump or jog the deck when loads are frozen, wet or sticky. Relief valves individually protect the major hydraulic components, the pump and the cylinder.
To help maintain proper operating sequences, a remote-mounted panel electrically controls the dumper's operation. All hydraulic control valves are solenoid-operated from the panel. Limit switches at various system points ensure the proper operating sequence. The simplified controls permit efficient operation from a single, remote-control station and/or by the driver alone.
Permanent truck dumpers are available in drive-through, back-on and extended arm configurations for both grade-level and elevated discharge. We also offer skid or wheel mounted portable dumpers. Our standard line includes deck lengths from 35-70 feet to accommodate either trailer-detached or tractor/trailer-couple dumping. Available with rated capacities up to 80 tons, all standard models feature the 63 degree dumping angle.
Available in skid or wheel mounted designs, the portable dumper can be easily moved when conditions require. The inclined deck design gives drivers full view of wheels during backing. The height designed into the rear retention wall allows a full trailor load to be emptied, accelerating the take-away cycle.
For applications requiring fast turnaround. Drive-through design with pit bridge offers efficient routing of trucks with a minimum of waiting time.
For applications where below-surface water creates a problem or where underground hoppers are impractical or too costly. The elevated discharge dumper permits the above-ground installations of dumping stations.
For applications requiring performance with economy. Formed tire guard rails help position trailer. Heavy-duty backstop and hinges resist shock if struck by trailer. Tie-down rails secure vehicle.
For applications where both trucks and rail cars require unloading, there are proven designs to meet your needs
Receiving hoppers for smooth, productive operation are available for all permanent dumper models. The hoppers receive and discharge efficiently with minimal spillage. Chain, auger or sliding frame dischange systems built into the hoppers meter materials evenly from dumping to storage or processing.
