Dump trailer angle of the dangle

[Artisan]

HA! Actually that is the concept, but first I have to learn
a few things so I KIS and it works too!
Thanx for the input.

...and that I may but unless I get edumacated I would
always wonder. LD1 do you have a link to a calculator
or how are you calculating all those forces?

I just do the calcs with the calculator. Formulas is in my head. Those calcs are nice, but its also nice to understand how they get the numbers and I can usually get the answer quicker than searching and pulling up one of those like you linked.

Ex: your 3.5" cylinder, first we must find the square inches of the piston. Formula for area of a circle is pr x r squared...

So the radius is 1.75", square that and we get 3.06" Now multiply that by pi and you get 9.62 square inches of piston surface.

With 2400psi applied, you get a force of ~23,000lbs

Now for the angle part. It is simply the sin of the angle times the force. So in your case of 25 degrees, it would look like sin(25) x 23000= vertical force.

Its actually not that complicated because there really isnt as many steps as it seams. its all continuous on the calculator.

Key in 1.75, hit the square button, hit times pi, times psi and you have your force. Now without eveing having to clear, hit times 25 and the sin button then = and you have your answer.

Figuring the dump angles gets a little more complex though, have to use the law of cosines formula

Renze might you have a link for me, regarding these
3&4 stage inexpensive cylinders please?

Dont know exact prices, in my time at the trailer builder we used a different supplier, but that one doesnt have a website in English. We used telescopic cylinders on all dumptrailers we built.

I'll tell ya what...If I ever make M.O.T.M. you'all all owe me 10 bux EA ok? Ha!
Like THAT is gonna happen!

I actually have a 6x14' Carson dump trailer, I want a lil'bugga that is unique.

Yep, I am ever so humbled in the amount of views some of my posts get.
Perhaps it's because I milk a subject to death and want all the answers and
when I get them I share. Maybe it is because I go to great pains to post
up a bazillion pics... No matter, I am happy to Pay It Forward on TBN
whenever and wherever I can. Muhammad and family deserve much
for making such a fine board, and everyone should regularly click
on the advertising links and learn what the advertisers have to
offer, it partially pays the bills here I do believe...

RENZE Thank You so much! I am having a heck of a time trying to
get prices for some of these cool parts, I am even having a hard
time finding them!

(Got a link as to where to buy the ball and socket 3- way tipping /
tilting hardware in your back pocket as well Renze? )

Might find an idea in how the 2-way tailgates were hinged and latched.

We used to buy complete sets at Boyriven:
Boyriven they have 2, 5 and 15 ton sets.
