FAQs

What are the dimensions of the aluminium base plate?

The aluminium base plate measures 355mm x 75mm x 3mm.

What are the dimensions of the rubber tipper pad?

The rubber tipper pad measures 288mm x 75mm x 30mm.

Is this listing for a single tipper block or a pair?

This listing is for a pack of 2 x tipper plates.

Can the aluminium base plate be bolted instead of welded?

While the base plate is designed for welding, it might be possible to drill and bolt through it. However, welding provides a much more secure and durable attachment.

What is the primary benefit of using these tipper blocks?

The primary benefit is to cushion and protect vehicles or machinery during tipping operations, preventing damage to drop-down sides and other components.

Are these suitable for heavy-duty commercial use?

Yes, they are commonly used on tipper trucks and trailers, indicating suitability for commercial applications.

How does the rubber pad help prolong component life?

The rubber construction absorbs shock and vibration from repeated tipping actions, which minimizes stress and damage to the affected components.

Troubleshooting

Tipper block detaches after installation

Ensure the aluminium base plate was properly welded to a clean, prepared surface. Re-weld if necessary, ensuring full penetration and adhesion.

Rubber pad shows signs of premature wear

Check for excessive impact forces or abrasive materials being tipped. Ensure the pad is the appropriate size for the application. Replace the pad if it is significantly worn.

Aluminium base plate appears corroded

Clean the surface with a mild detergent and water. For ongoing protection in corrosive environments, consider applying a suitable protective coating after welding and cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces damage from tipping actions.
  • Extends the lifespan of trailer and vehicle components.
  • Provides reliable impact cushioning.
  • Offers a secure and permanent mounting option via welding.
  • Versatile for both commercial and personal use.

Cons

  • Requires welding for optimal and permanent installation.
  • Aluminium base plate may require treatment if exposed to harsh corrosive environments.
  • Rubber pad thickness may not be sufficient for extremely heavy impacts in all scenarios.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Position the tipper block in the desired location on the edge of the drop-down side or tipping surface.
  2. For a permanent and secure installation, the aluminium base plate is designed to be welded into place.
  3. Ensure the welding is performed by a qualified professional to achieve optimal adhesion and structural integrity.

Compatibility:

These tipper blocks are compatible with most standard tipper trucks, trailers, and other machinery that utilize a tipping action where edges may contact the ground. The dimensions are suitable for common drop-down side applications.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the rubber pad for excessive wear or damage.
  • Clean the rubber and aluminium surfaces with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt and debris.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could degrade the rubber.
  • Check the integrity of the weld periodically.
