Semi Tipper

Semi Tipper

Our semi tipper kit is one of our most popular configurations. This hydraulic kit includes a standard PTO, gear pump, and control valve. We install a wide range of PTO’s that are specifically selected to ensure compatibility with all types of gearboxes for varying makes and models. Additionally, we offer varying pump sizes to guarantee the ideal flow and pressure for your specified hydraulic system.

In semi tippers, where large hoists are essential, we’ve optimised all hosing and valving for maximum flow. This is achieved using 1″ hose and fittings for pressure and 1 ½” for return and suction, allowing the hoist to operate at the fastest permissible speed. The standard optioned pump provides a displacement of approximately 85 litres per minute at 1000RPM, with a system pressure of 2500psi.

Customisation is what we do. We cater to specific preferences for coupling location, bracketry and controls. Every aspect of the hydraulic fit-out can be tailored to your specific needs, allowing you to choose the setup that best suits your preferences. We will endeavour to ensure from front to back the hydraulics are completed to your requirements.

Your truck doesn’t come with a hydraulic tank? Whether you require tank splits, a full conversion from diesel to hydraulic or a tank mounted behind the cabin, we have you covered. Our extensive range of options ensures that you can find the perfect hydraulic tank solution to best suit your application.

In addition to our core offerings, we offer a range of add-ons and accessories to enhance your hydraulic system. These options include a radio remote kit, HotShift PTO and controls to suit a Stag combination. These are all designed to provide you with even greater versatility and control over your hydraulic system.
