Kippiperävaunu

Kippiperävaunu, also known as a tipper trailer or dump trailer, is a type of trailer designed for transporting and unloading loose materials such as gravel, sand, soil, or demolition waste. Its primary feature is a hydraulic or electric mechanism that allows the trailer bed to be tilted, facilitating the controlled dumping of its contents. This mechanism is typically operated by a power unit, often a hydraulic pump powered by the towing vehicle or a separate battery system.

The construction of a kippiperävaunu usually involves a robust steel frame and a reinforced bed to withstand heavy loads. They come in various sizes, from small trailers suitable for personal use to large, multi-axle trailers used in commercial construction and agriculture. The tailgate of a kippiperävaunu can often be opened or removed to allow for easier material flow, and some models also feature side-opening gates.

Kippiperävaunut are widely used in industries where the efficient transport and unloading of bulk materials are essential. This includes construction sites for delivering building supplies, landscaping projects for moving soil and mulch, and agricultural operations for transporting crops or feed. Their ability to quickly and easily unload materials significantly reduces manual labor and speeds up work processes. Safety features often include trailer brakes, lighting, and sturdy construction to ensure secure transport.
