Heavy Duty Bowl Side tipper

Overview

Big cubes. Fast cycle times. Low tare weight. High speed off-road application. These requirements from our customers led us to build the 4XL series of trailers.

Using our combination of marine grade aluminium for the bodies and 700 grade steel chassis, the 100 cubic meter B-Double tares in at 25.8 tonnes. Cycle time per trailer is just under 30 seconds. Fully loaded, these trailers are rated to run at 100km per hour.

The trailers can be designed to tip either to the passenger or driver side with 7 and 8 inch phasing cylinders handling the tipping process. Our tipping design keeps the product mass close to the centre point of the trailer as the tub moves through to the 47 degree tip angle.

Trailers can be designed to work in B-Double and multi-vehicle combinations. Body width is 3.4 metres with a wheel base of just over 3 meters. All GLT trailers are laser wheel aligned prior to delivery. The highest quality parts are sourced to manufacture each GLT unit. All nuts, bolts and washers are stainless steel. Hydraulic, electrical and air lines are well protected within the chassis.

Body

GLT offers two body options. Select from either lightweight aluminium or SAAB steel. Both material types come in a range of thicknesses.

Side sheets are rolled and pressed to increase strength, decrease contamination and reduce cracking potential.

Top coamings are fabricated from Strenx 700 grade steel and bolted to the body. This makes them compliant and easy to be replaced.

End sheets are a standard flat design with special reinforced sections where the lifting cylinders are attached.

The body sits directly on the main chassis rails providing it with excellent support while fully loaded.

Chassis

All our chassis are 700 grade mechanical steel with quenched and tempered skid plates. Minor amounts 350 and 250 grade steel small profiles are used for gussets. These chassis have been scaled up in size and material thickness to handle the high stress of the application.

Each chassis is 3D modelled and laser cut. All steel work is hand welded using Miller digital pulse machines by our highly skilled tradesmen.

The 4XL series of trailers use a unique style of body pivot. The body trajectory path is linier to allow for greater control of the discharging product. Special nylon pads are used where the body rests on the chassis.

All edges on flanges are sanded and polished to reduce the chances of cracking and to help paint adhere to the steel.

 

GLT chassis are optimised for K-Hitch air bag suspension and oversize K-Hitch drum brake axles.
