Tipper Bodies - Hyundai Body Builder 2015 Manual

INTRODUCTION PRELIMINAR STUDIES AND CONSIDERATIONS
MOUNTING AND CONSTRUCTION
5.4.4
The body of a tipper vehicle is considered flexible to torsion forces. In this type of
vehicle, the chassis and the body itself are often subject to high stresses due to its
frequent use in construction, where the pavement is in a poor condition and the car-
go transported tends to have a high weight.

General considerations
Before starting conversion work on the vehicle, it is recommended that the basic
vehicle should be weighed and measured, and a detailed planning of the work to
developed should be carried out. In this way it is possible to properly determine the
dimensions, weights and main features of the upper body to be installed.
The proper height of the centre of gravity must be achieved, to ensure maximum
stability, as well as to comply with the distribution of weight according to the regu-
lations in force and to the guidelines contained in this manual.
Attention must be paid to the stability of the vehicle while the tipper is working.
Subframe features
The subframe in tipper vehicles must be sufficiently rigid and strong to withstand
all stresses that occur during the tilting of the vehicle. The tipper body should rest
over the entire length of the subframe to better distribute the load. IA section size
(Wx) and a material for the subframe members must be chosen according to the
feature of the new vehicle, its performance and the load to be supported.
