Tipping vehicle
DRIVE
March 5, 2003
The vehicle (1) has a fixed chassis (8) and a tipping bin (3) of basically semicylindrical shape, operated by a lifting system (6) with fixed (5) and moving (4) levers. The levers' free ends are connected to the bin and chassis, and they have a calliper action, operated by a one- or two-way power cylinder (10) connected to cross-pieces between the levers.
