A tipping device is intended to be used together with a toy vehicle (23), which has a body (24), wheels (25) fixed to the body, and a load carrier (26) supported by the body, in order to tip the vehicle so as to tip a load off the load carrier (26). The tipping device comprises a frame (1), which has two end walls (3), and a tipping cradle (20), which has a roadway portion (21) extending between the two end walls (3). The tipping cradle (20) is rotatable about a rotational axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the roadway portion between an initial position, in which the roadway portion (21) is facing substantially vertically upwards, and a tipping position, in which the roadway portion (21) is facing obliquely downwards. The tipping cradle (20) comprises a lateral flange (31), which is substantially parallel to the roadway portion (21) and extends sideways a certain distance in over the roadway portion so as to extend in over at least one wheel (25) provided on one side of a toy vehicle (23) driven into the roadway portion (21), thereby to retain the vehicle on the roadway portion during the rotation of the tipping cradle (20). |
