DUMP TRAILER WITH ADJUSTABLE TIPPING HINGE

摘要

A dump trailer comprises a tub pivotally supported on a main frame for pivotal rotation about a tipping axis between a transport position and a dumping position by a pair of tipping hinge assemblies. The tipping hinge assemblies are adjustably mounted onto the tub so that a position of the tub relative to the frame, and the tipping axis fixed relative to the frame, can be adjusted between a first mounting position corresponding to a forward position of the tub supported on the frame and at least one second mounting position corresponding to a rearward position of the tub supported on the frame. The tub is spaced farther rearward in relation to the frame in the rearward position than in the forward position so that there is a greater overhang of the end gate relative to the wheels of the trailer and the tipping axis in the rearward position.
