Why they call the tipper tipper... - Site

Many a name explains itself

Under the name "TipperRoof", for example, Edscha TS is presenting an innovative dump truck roof system based on the company's well-known sliding roof concept, which has been transferred to modern dump trucks. But what does the name want to tell us? Quite simply "TipperRoof" is made up of the English "Tipper" = dump truck and "Roof" = roof/cover).

A tipper remains a tipper... Even without a tipper body

In Great Britain, the tipper is first and foremost a smoked fish speciality made from herring. Large filleted and pre-salted pieces are plated with skin and without head and are cold smoked. At that time Kipper was certainly hungry for it. Kipper was the name given to a worker in a quarry who hammered rock blocks into small stones, which were mainly used as paving stones in road construction.

Well, and then of course there are the tippers on wheels. In principle, these are carrier vehicles on which a so-called tipper body is mounted. The tipper bridge can be used to control a loading area and - precisely - tilt it. The range of tipper vehicles built today is enormous. They are primarily used in the construction and agricultural sectors. Dump trucks are generally used for transporting bulk material or asphalt. These either have fixed bodies or mobile trailers for high flexibility.

The term dump truck in construction vehicles is actually derived from the fact that they look like a floor dump (skip). Very much in the past a trough was also a "milking barrel" (mhd. mulde, ahd. muolt(e)ra; the term is a borrowing from lat. mulctra "milking barrel", from lat. mulgere "to milk".

When there was still fuel from coal

Only a few people know fuel from coal. The name of the mineral oil brand ARAL, for example, contains a piece of this history. In , the "Westdeutsche Benzol-Verkaufsvereinigung" was founded in Bochum to market benzene, a by-product of mining. In , the Benzene Association developed a gasoline-benzene mixture with a mixing ratio "of six parts gasoline and four parts benzene" as gasoline. As benzene belongs to the chemical group of ARomatics and petrol to the ALiphatics, the new fuel was named Aral.

Ever driven a tautliner?

The tautliner, also known as a curtainsider, is a body form of a truck, semi-trailer or trailer with a tarpaulin on the side, and is used in road haulage. The term is composed of the English words taut for "tight" or "taut" and liner in the broadest sense for "means of transport". The German term is, among other things, Schiebeplanenauflieger or curtain tarp semitrailer. A tautliner is not equipped with side walls, but - from a certain length - with vertical, removable stanchions and horizontal support slats inserted in receptacles and on the outside with a side tarpaulin (side guard) on the left and right. The sliding tarpaulins can actually be pulled up like a curtain.

The Edscha structure

Anyone who talks about modern convertible top solutions uses "Edscha" as an industry-specific synonym. Behind this is the invention of the modern sliding top patented in by the Remscheid-based company Edscha. The term goes back to the company founder Eduard Scharwächter, from whose name the term Edscha was derived.

Today the Edscha body is practically a standard for modern convertible top solutions. It is understood to be a special body form for trailers and semi-trailers which are pulled by trucks. With some Edscha soft-top bodies the roof can be moved to one or both sides. It folds up like an accordion. This allows the trailer to be loaded and unloaded from above. This is particularly practical for goods that are difficult to move or bulky - such as machines or long goods - such as steel beams. With the help of a crane, they are simply loaded onto the loading area from above. This is less time-consuming than loading with forklifts and saves time. All this is achieved by patented kinematics. The soft tops are easy to move, require little maintenance and prove to be extremely robust in tough everyday practice.

Another quick and safe solution for loading and unloading from the truck side is the development of the Edscha side curtain rollers. The very smooth-running tarpaulin rollers enable safe and convenient moving of the tarpaulins when loading and unloading from the truck side. In the event of defects, individual rollers can also be replaced quickly and easily. This makes Edscha side tarpaulin rollers a very economical solution.

Today, modern Edscha tarpaulin systems are developed and marketed by Edscha TS with headquarters in Moers. Incidentally, the TS stands for the term "trailer systems".

A dump truck is a big tool for a big job. Since Tucker Paving Inc. sometimes has a mighty big job to do or several comparatively smaller-size jobs to do at the same time, several dump trucks are in the TPI vehicle fleet.

A dump truck also is a source of great delight. Children love it when one of our team members drives up in a dump truck for a local school show-and-tell or career day or arrives in one of these big rigs for a community touch-a-truck day. It&#;s wonderful to see the excitement and joy on kids&#; faces as they walk around and put their hands on one of our dump trucks and actually sit in a truck cab and get behind the over-sized wheel of one.

It might be interesting for you to learn that dump trucks have been a part of major business and construction, both in America and around the world, for well more than 100 years. What follows are just a few key dates and developments in the history of dump trucks and some facts and figures about these indispensable rigs for road building, hauling, and most other construction tasks.

• A dump truck is used for transporting loose material (such as sand, gravel, or demolition waste) for construction.
• Other names for a dump truck include dumper truck or tipper truck.
• A dump truck has superseded the basic truck design by automating the process of unloading. By automatically tipping the bed, hundreds of cubic yards of loose material can be unloaded at one time.
• A typical dump truck is equipped with an open-box bed, which is hinged at the rear and equipped with hydraulic rams to lift the front, allowing the material in the bed to be deposited (&#;dumped&#;) on the ground behind the truck at the site of delivery.
• The dump truck is thought to have been first conceived in the farms of late 19th-century western Europe. Thornycroft developed a steam dust-cart in with a tipper mechanism.
• In its earliest incarnation before gasoline or diesel engines were created, dumping mechanisms were attached to horse-drawn two-wheel carts often used in coal mines and railroads to haul material. These &#;dump trucks&#; were tub-like containers attached to the rear gate hinges.
• The first motorized dump trucks in the United States were developed by small equipment companies such as The Fruehauf Trailer Corporation, Galion Buggy Co., and Lauth-Juergens, among many others, around . Hydraulic dump beds were introduced by Wood Hoist Co. shortly thereafter.
• Dump truck manufacturing companies flourished during World War I due to massive wartime demand.
• A standard dump truck is a truck chassis with a dump body mounted to the frame. The bed is raised by a vertical hydraulic ram mounted under the front of the body, or a horizontal hydraulic ram and lever arrangement between the frame rails, and the back of the bed is hinged at the back of the truck. The tailgate can be configured to swing up on top hinges (and sometimes also to fold down on lower hinges), or it can be configured in the &#;high-lift tailgate&#; format, wherein pneumatic rams lift the gate open and up above the dump body.
• In the United States, most standard dump trucks have one front steering axle and one or two rear axles, which typically have dual wheels on each side. Tandem rear axles are almost always powered; front steering axles also are sometimes powered. Unpowered axles are sometimes used to support extra weight.
• The frame used in both new and used dump trucks is specially reinforced to provide added rigidity to the equipment and prevent it from bending or breaking under heavy loads.
• Dump truck sales continue to grow due to the rise in construction activity and increased government spending for roads and highways. Rigid dump trucks are part of the high-value equipment segment that will see renewed sales and will prompt sales figures to reach $89.3 billion by .
