FAQs

What materials are the tipper blocks made of?

The tipper blocks are constructed from a combination of a self-colour aluminium base plate and a durable rubber tipper pad.

What are the exact dimensions of the components?

The aluminium base plate measures 355mm x 75mm x 3mm, and the rubber tipper pad measures 288mm x 75mm x 30mm.

How are these tipper blocks installed?

They are designed to be welded into position using the aluminium base plate.

What is the primary benefit of using these blocks?

They cushion and protect vehicles or machinery during tipping operations by absorbing shock and vibration, which minimizes damage from repeated actions.

Can these be used on any type of trailer?

Yes, they are commonly used on tipper trucks and trailers, particularly on the edges of drop-down sides that make contact with the floor.

How many tipper plates are included in this listing?

This listing is for a pack of 6 x tipper plates.

Does the aluminium base plate come painted or treated?

No, the aluminium base plate is supplied in a 'self-colour' finish and is intended for welding, which may require further finishing depending on your needs.

Troubleshooting

Tipper block not staying in place

Ensure the aluminium base plate was properly and securely welded to the vehicle structure. Re-weld if necessary, ensuring good adhesion.

Rubber pad appears excessively worn

Inspect the frequency and intensity of tipping actions. If wear is premature, consider if the application exceeds the product's intended use or if foreign objects are causing excessive abrasion.

Aluminium base plate cannot be welded

Ensure the surface of the aluminium base plate is clean and free of contaminants before attempting to weld. Use appropriate welding rods and techniques for aluminium-to-steel bonding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces damage to vehicles and machinery from tipping actions.
  • Extends the service life of critical components by absorbing shock.
  • The aluminium base allows for secure, permanent welding for reliable positioning.
  • The combination of materials provides effective cushioning.
  • Sold in a pack of 6 for cost-effectiveness on multiple applications.

Cons

  • Requires welding for secure and permanent installation, which may necessitate professional assistance.
  • Not suitable for applications where a permanent or welded fixture is not feasible.
  • The aluminium base plate is supplied in a 'self-colour' finish, which may require further treatment if a specific aesthetic is desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Positioning: Determine the exact location on your vehicle or trailer where the tipping action will cause contact.
  2. Welding: The aluminium base plate is designed to be welded into place. Ensure proper welding techniques are used to create a strong, secure bond.
  3. Verification: After welding, check that the tipper block is firmly attached and correctly aligned to provide optimal cushioning.

Compatibility:

These tipper blocks are compatible with most standard tipper trucks, trailers, and heavy machinery requiring impact protection during tipping operations. The aluminium base plate can be welded onto steel or other suitable metal surfaces.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the tipper blocks for signs of wear or damage.
  • Clean the rubber pad with a damp cloth if it becomes dirty. Avoid using harsh solvents.
  • Ensure the welded joint remains secure.
