Heavy equipment, loaders, conveyor belts, as well as other manufacturing equipment are commonly used along with dump trailer trucks in the sector of domains such as civil engineering to form loading, transferring, and offloading assembly plants for earthwork, and various bulk materials loading, unloading, and logistics. Furthermore, it is usually a heavy load with poor operating conditions and a substantial loss to the vehicle.

And therefore, the dump trailer has a three-year general service cycle and a very high replacement cost. Here are some dump truck maintenance tips that we hope will be useful to you in order to make your trailer truck last longer and make even more money .

How to carefully look after your Dump Semi Trailer Truck

Dump trucks, unlike other vehicles, can be lifted hydraulically or mechanically to unload their cargo. As a consequence, the hydraulic cylinder is critical for the dump truck and should not be overlooked.

(1) Evaluate the dump truck's hydraulic oil volume; if there is a shortage, timely supplement; check whether the hydraulic system is damaged or leaking; and deal with it as soon as possible if necessary.

(2) Examine the condition of the tipper trailer, sub-frame, spare tyre frame, and so on, paying special attention to whether the welding seam is open welding, cracking, or other phenomena.

(3) Pay close attention to and test the upper and lower supports of the dump truck's hydraulic cylinder, as well as the connection and fastening between the connecting rod mechanism and other parts. Look for unusual damage or deformation in each moving part and its adjacent fixed parts.

(4) Examine the working or wear condition of the tipper's gear pump, force extractor, hydraulic cylinder, and other moving parts, and make repairs, repair, and replacement as needed.

Of course, daily maintenance should be very careful, with regular checks of the dump truck's following items every week or after every 50 hours of work:

• Examine all of the dump truck's gas and oil lines for leakages and replace any damaged hoses as quickly as possible.
• Verify the tightness of all the bolts and nuts.
• Inspect the vehicle's valve and hydraulic cylinder for dirt.
• To ensure the vehicle's normal operation, each filling point must be filled once.
• Inspect the pad wood, pad block, or rubber belt for wear. If something deteriorates over time, it must be replaced.

(5) The dump truck's high-pressure hose must be replaced every two years. If the hose is cracked, damaged, or partially enlarged, it should be replaced right away.

(6) If the dump truck has been out of service for an extended period of time, it should be inspected and qualified in accordance with the new truck's inspection content before re-use.

(7) Check the locking mechanism of the dump truck's trunk plate on a regular basis for reliability, and adjust it to a reasonable automatic opening and closing angle to avoid accidents caused by the trunk plate opening or lifting accident. To avoid damage when unloading large materials, the rear plate should be removed.
