Excuse my ignorance but what is the load?
Artic tippers can be pretty unstable to begin with, length and height of the raised body makes them very vunerable to side winds.
One of the most common causes of a roll over though, is if the load sticks to one side of the bed as it can cause the weight to shift to one side, and then the slightest angle or wind can just push them over.
It’s why Walking Floors are getting very popular as there’s less chance of it going over.
Problem with walking floors are not all mills are equipped for them, and some quarries arent either. So we’ll still have tippers for a very long time yet
I tip scrap on a bulk tipper every day…there have been a few arse clenching moments and the best way is to keep your eye on the trailer and if any swaying stop tipping and roll forwards. If it carries on coming out tip up further, if not drop it and get a grab to hoist it out. I’ve not been tipping scrap long (9 months) but always look at the what if!!!
