Home-Built 3-Way Dumper
After a trip to Austria and seeing 3-way tippers on farms in the mountains which dump in any direction, I decided that was what I needed for my hilly land back here in the States. I built a 3-way dumper using a flatbed trailer and a hoist.
The dumping mechanism is powered by a 40-ton, hydraulic hoist that I got from a salvage yard.I didn't have any specifications or plans for the 3-way dump hinge, so I experimented until I came up with the right dimensions that would provide the desired lift. Once I had a model made, I constructed the real unit with heavy steel components.
Two pins at the rear of the trailer control the direction of dumping. To dump straight back you leave both pins in. To dump to one side you simply remove the pin on the opposite side.
