Hydraulic Dump Trailer Pump

Hydraulic Dump Trailer Pump FAQ

Introduction

A Hydraulic Dump Trailer Pump performs the functions of hauling and dumping dry bulk solids mostly by gravity. This machine also has the capability of moving the solids upward to a place where they will be stored. It is made up of a container mounted to a frame on wheels. Tilting of the containers is achieved using a hydraulic ram, and this is done to allow the dumping of the content through a rear outlet. A gate allows for the dumping of the solid.

A hydraulic pump system is a system that converts mechanical energy at the inlet of the system to hydraulic energy (hydraulic oil pressure) at the outlet of the system. In this hydraulic pump system vacuum created at the inlet section allows suction of hydraulic oil from hydraulic tank reservoirs into the gear pump inlet side, and by the mechanical action of and means of mechanical action or force, the hydraulic oil at the intake section is pushed to the outlet side from it entering the hydraulic system.

What is a Hydraulic Dump Trailer Pump?

A hydraulic dump trailer pump is a pump that assists in the lifting and brings down of the hydraulic cylinder or hoist that performs the function of raising or lowering the dump container box. It is an integration of a dump trailer and a hydraulic pump. here hydraulic oil is supplied to the hydraulic system using what we refer to as a hydraulic power unit and this whole operation is done at a chosen flowing rate. The dump trailer hydraulic pump parts including:

• A hydraulic tankreservoir
• A DC electric motor
• A hydraulic gear pump
• A hydraulic manifold with some valves
• An electric control system

The Assembly of these components is what makes up a hydraulic trailer body that is capable of lifting or lowering loads.

TYPES OF HYDRAULIC DUMP TRAILER PUMP

A single-acting hydraulic pump for dump trailer: this the type of hydraulic dump trailer pump that has only one connection port between the end part of the electric hydraulic pump for dump trailer and the hydraulic cylinder to help the oil is pushing the hydraulic cylinder piston and retracting the oil back to the oil reservoir. It is this advance of the piston when pressurized by oil is one finds application in trailers. It is a power-up gravity down hydraulic pump system. This trailer body will be lift by a trailer hydraulic pump and lowering by gravity. This type of dump hydraulic trailer pump finds application in the lifting of light industrial and commercial loads. 

A double-acting hydraulic pump 12v dump trailer: this type of hydraulic pump has two connection oil ports between the hydraulic cylinder and the 12v double-acting hydraulic pump. One oil port at the lower area of the cylinder while the other one is at the upper area of the double-acting cylinder. Here, the hydraulic oil can be active on both sides of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder, and two hydraulic hoses are needed in each of the thread ports. One hose performs the function of lifting the dump trailer why the other is for lowering the hydraulic dump trailer. That is why this kind of trailer hydraulic pump is better than other designs. A double-acting cylinder hydraulic dump trailer pump is very important in lifting heavy industrial and commercial goods.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR HYDRAULIC DUMP TRAILER PUMP COMPONENTS

Motor: The dump trailer pump motor is that part of the hydraulic system that performs the function of converting the electrical energy of the coil into the mechanical energy of the shaft. The dump trailer pump motor unit makes use of power supplied either in the form of direct current. Some of the parameters consider while choosing this part of the system include the power rating, operating voltage, No-load speed (RPM), Stall torque, no-load current, and starting current. As it was powered by DC electrical battery, so, the starting current is very important for your trailer battery. A low starting current DC dump trailer pump motor will keep your trailer battery a long work cycle and long life.

Hydraulic Gear Pump:   the difference between an electric motor and a hydraulic gear pump, is that while energy conversion in motor energy is from electrical to mechanical while energy conversion in the hydraulic gear pump is from mechanical energy into hydraulic oil pressure. It is the part that consumes the mechanical power from the motor. The hydraulic gear pump is considered the heart of the hydraulic dump trailer pump.

Hydraulic Tank reservoir: a hydraulic tank for dump trailer is keep hydraulic oil and makes the oil heat exchange during working. The dump trailer hydraulic reservoir was made of plastic or steel. A plastic dump trailer hydraulic reservoir is much better than a steel one during heat exchange and checks the oil level. A steel hydraulic tank for dump trailer can be customized for different sizes and customized shapes.

hydraulic valve block: a hydraulic valve block was designed to mounting all valves, oil pipes, Motor, Gear pump, and dump trailer hydraulic reservoir. Normally it is an aluminum manifold block. It is light and easy to machine. Both solid aluminum and die-casting aluminum are used in the hydraulic dump trailer pump system.

Flow control valve: The flow control valve also known as the flow valve, helps in controlling flow by controlling the orifice parameter by a needle handle or spring. Normally speaking, there will be a flow valve in power up gravity down hydraulic pump system, and there is no flow valve in double-acting hydraulic pump 12v dump trailer. Because the double-acting cylinder speed was control by motor speed and gear pump size.

Dump trailer remote control switch: a hydraulic dump trailer pump was operated by remote. The dump trailer remote control switch comes with 3 wires and 4 wires,2 buttons remote.4 wire dump trailer remote control switch is designed for double-acting hydraulic pump 12v dump trailer. And, single acting hydraulic pump 12v dump trailer was complete with a 3 wire dump trailer remote control switch. Sometimes wireless remote comes with a hydraulic dump trailer pump kit.

How to install Hydraulic Dump Trailer Pump?

The next thing that follows the purchase of hydraulic dump trailer pump is its installation, and the installation procedure is as  follows;

• Connect all hydraulic fittings to hydraulic thread ports of the hydraulic pump and cylinders.
• Connect hydraulic hoses to the ports of the pump and cylinder.
• Use Fastener to hold the power unit of the hydraulic dump trailer pump to the body of the trailer
• Connect the positive and negative terminal between the motor and battery.
• Join dump trailer remote control switch connection with a quick connector on DC motor.

Fill up the empty dump trailer hydraulic reservoir with correct hydraulic oil and then get ready to make use of your hydraulic dump trailer pump.
