Tipper Hydraulic Kit: Contents, Types and Selection

A tipper hydraulic kit (tipping set) is a matched hydraulic package of pump, cylinder, valve, oil tank, PTO connection and hoses that raises the body of a tipper truck or trailer. Buying a kit instead of loose parts keeps pressure, flow and safety settings aligned.

Bodybuilders, fleets and maintenance teams searching for “hydraulic kit” or “tipping set” usually want to know which parts are mandatory and front-end or underbody. This guide answers both.

What Is a PTO?

Drive shaft

PTO–pump (if needed)

Drive Shaft

Hoses, adapters, seals

Installation

Spare parts

If the vehicle already has a suitable PTO, the kit can also be supplied as “pump + cylinder + valve + tank”. System logic: Hydraulic System.

Front-End Kit vs Underbody Kit

Front-end kit

Underbody kit

Cylinder position

Behind cab / front of body

Between chassis and body

Typical cylinder

Multi-stage telescopic

Telescopic or scissor layout

Strength

High tip angle, widely used

Lower centre of gravity on some trailers

Watch

Mounting height, stages

Geometry and chassis fit

The right type depends on body length, load (sand, rubble, rock), tip angle and chassis. Özceylanlar manufactures both front-end tipping cylinders and underbody cylinders.

Truck Hydraulic Kit vs Trailer Hydraulic Kit

  • Truck hydraulic kit: Gearbox PTO + gear pump + tipping valve + cylinder + oil tank.
  • Trailer hydraulic kit: Power from the tractor unit or a separate layout; hose lengths and tank position differ.
  • OEM tipping set: Fixed parts list for series production, custom stroke and flange.

How to Choose a Tipper Hydraulic Kit

  1. Vehicle and body: truck/trailer, volume (m³), empty–laden weight
  2. Lift type: front-end or underbody; max angle
  3. Gearbox / PTO: make, ratio, rotation, torque
  4. Pump flow vs target tipping time
  5. Working pressure and relief-valve setting
  6. Oil-tank volume (heat margin)
  7. Duty profile: short-cycle construction work or occasional use

Cheap but mismatched parts come back as slow tipping, overheating, PTO wear and leaks.

Installation and Safety

  • Engage the PTO with the vehicle stationary, per the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Bleed the system on first run; no suction leaks.
  • Set the bypass to the correct pressure; protect the body at the upper limit with a mechanical stop.
  • Keep hoses away from abrasion and heat.
  • Do not work under a raised body.
