Sugar cane tip trailers.

Trailers for transportation of loose sugarcane.

These tip trailers have a mono-chassis design incorporating the bin of the trailer and the chassis, thus allowing the trailer to operate with out a sub-chassis.

Advantages:

Improves the ground clearance.
Reduces the weight of the tip trailer as less steel is required to manufacture the trailer.
Reduces the centre of gravity while tipping and while in normal operation.
Improves the tip angle and
Gives the added advantage of using only one telescopic hydraulic ram for the tipping operation.

The mono-chassis is attached to an A-frame by means of pins and bushes, the A-frame incorporates the draw-bar and mounting bracketing for the hydraulic ram.

The trailers bin sheeting is manufactured of hard abrasion resistant steel, to reduce wear on the inside of the bin and to give added strength to the trailer.

The trailers are in use throughout the South African sugar industry, mainly for the purpose of forwarding cane to a zone and re-loading onto a haulage rig.
The same trailers are also used for various other applications such as the transportation of refuse, rubble, quarry, timber and for transporting seedcane.
The trailers are offered with or without road worthy documentation, depending on the clients application.
