Frameless Dump Trailer Fifth Wheel

One aspect of the present invention is a frameless dump trailer system which stabilizes the fifth wheel hitch by horizontally offsetting the load bearing lift mechanism from the fifth wheel pivot point.

Frameless dump trailer fifth wheel.

The trailer that is attached to the fifth wheel should impose a consistent vertical load. Some customers prefer the fifth wheel to be blocked which means the fifth wheel will not pivot forwards or backwards. Generally this system avoids the need to lock or block the fifth wheel during dumping and transport. East frameless dump trailers are designed with the ideal balance between low weight for more payload and heavy duty strength for durability.

This is also known as a no tilt fifth wheel. East offers several frameless dump configurations to meet your needs. A hydraulic cylinder is pivotally attached to the front portion of the container. A piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is pivotally attached to a kingpin plate assembly.

Smaller models around eight feet in length allow for less complicated loads to be carried for home use while larger ones approximately 30. Repeated negative loading trying to pull the fifth wheel off of the brackets with the kingpin is not allowed. Blocked fifth wheels are especially recommended in frameless dump applications h7. A minimum static load applied to the fifth wheel through the trailer is 10 of the gross trailer weight.

By design frameless dump trailers have a pivoting plate so the fifth wheel on the tractor needs to be stationary. Here is a set up with a removable pin. A rear axle and wheels support the rear portion of the cargo container. They come in various sizes.

Note the pivot on the trailer plate. The frameless end dump fifth wheel trailer includes a cargo container. Dump trailer a dump trailer is a hauling trailer with a hydraulic lift that allows the trailer bed to be raised from its frame in order to haul and unload heavy materials easily.
