What is a Side Tipper Cylinder?

A side tipper hydraulic cylinder is a specialised hydraulic actuator designed to tilt a truck or trailer body sideways instead of lifting from the front like a rear tipper.

Unlike traditional dump trucks, side tippers discharge material laterally, allowing operators to:

• Spread material evenly (windrowing)

• Operate safely on uneven terrain

• Work under low-clearance structures

• Maintain greater stability during tipping

Most side tipper hydraulic cylinders are heavy-duty telescopic or multi-stage systems that generate high breakout force while remaining compact when retracted.

If you’re looking for a side tipper hydraulic cylinder for sale with proven durability, our Australian-built systems have been servicing the transport industry since 1994.
