clarification of the operation of the dumper tailgate opening and closing mechanism:
hi, in an old dumper made by Perlini, I think T 15, the model is a truck which, due to its size and capacity, could circulate on the road if approved, I was saying I noticed a mechanism, a device for opening and closing the side. That is, not like in modern tippers, hydraulically controlled by oil-dynamic pistons, but rather from a device made with simple connecting rod levers. nothing sophisticated or difficult to achieve. Could you give me further information, thanks. a similar system was used on large and robust tippers that were used by trucks transporting rocks and boulders to build artificial cliffs. that is, at the same time as the tipping and lifting movement of the box for unloading the rocks, the lower side was hinged to the frame of the bottom of the box and therefore a system of levers and tie rods opened and lowered the side as the box was raised, bringing it parallel to the level of the bottom of the box. would you have photos or drawings of this device, thanks, I think it is simple and effective. I attach photos. Thanks
do you know other heavy machinery that uses this device?
