A tipping tray for my 130.

[wally]

I want to convert my single cab 130 to a tipper. Does anyone have any experience of this? Are there good and bad ways of going about it? Any particular make of kit that you would recommend or anyone in particular that I should contact?

I've seen one on a dual cab and the owner hated it...

IMHO it was a crappy design and when he tilted it with 2t of sand on it the "hinges" bent away from and tore the welds off of the chassis.

I reckon done right Its got to be a good thing. I'd probably start by building a sub frame for it to mount to thats removeable so that if something does go amiss you can turn up to an engineering place (or repair place of your choice) undo a handfull of fastners and fork it off for repair without losing the whole vehicle.

I know a guy in Dural who has made a tipper for his 130 and he loves it.

Given time I could possibly get some information.

Wally,
Watch this space! I have arranged to see the Dural man so I can get some pics this coming Friday.

He bought a kit of gear and installed it all with his son's help, and says it works extremely well.

If there are any particular questions you have let me know and I will ask.

This tipper is based on a kit that cost $1800. The whole tipper assembly is removeable so a camper van can go on.

I have more pics. If you would like more info just ask.

Fantastic mate, thanks for going to that trouble. That looks like a pretty good setup to me and the price sounds pretty good. Do you know what make of kit it is or who to get in touch with?

Here are the details from the owner of the tipper in the pictures.

The seller of the electric-hydraulic tipper kit is Mega-Pacific Pty Ltd, 7 Jersey Ave, Sandgate NSW (Newcastle). See their website megapacific.com.au. Phone 4960 1888. They sent the kit to us on about 12 March last year, directed to Oztray Ltd, Glenorie (if they want MegaPacific to check the details of what we got.

It appears from the box to be PZB 100007806 or Item 00253511100007806001.) It cost $1800 delivered. The kit included the 6-stage ram, oil tank, motor and pump, switches, cables, and pivot shaft for the rear hinge (although we had to make some additions to that). But it did not include the tipping frame to which the whole thing has to be mounted. We welded that up out of mostly 75x75 3mm steel square tube. I can give your mate the measurements of the whole thing if he likes.

The positioning of the hinge and the ram is critical to making it fit and getting the right hoist angle.

BTW it is no toy. He has carried many loads at capacity plus, many ks and it works perfectly.
