Was holding out due to H&S and not wanting anyone to do owt daft and hurt oneself tbh If you do so you do at your own risk!

 

I found inspiration from you tube and then found out that they could be turned up.

 

You see this bigger 22mm nut towards the bottom of the picture.....

 

There's the blue knob and the black box.... then below to the right is the 22mm nut / cap......

 

This had security wire around it for warranty reasons so they know it hasn't been tampered with.

 

Removed the security wire.... remove the nut which turned out to be a cap for  adjuster screw....

 

Turned it in a quarter then half turn etc and kept trying... Ended up on a turn and a half in and seems ok.

 

Ideally needs to be checked with a pressure gauge to make sure its ok and within limits of pipes and pack etc

The answer e6G is to not use a standard tipper body that was designed to tip an evenly spread one ton payload ,fit greedyboards, ram the thing to the top way forward of the ram/tipping gear center with chip and expect it to tip Cranking up the pressure is one way of doing it but things like ram seals and pumps will suffer long term, fitting the tipping gear further forward would do it but then it would not go high enough to empty so its a complete redesign or crank up the pressure.

You are correct Bob but thats what most folk do.... the difference with me is I have a toolbox made into the tipper bed. Thus the first 24-26” is tool box. This means that the load isnt way past the tipping ram so shouldnt struggle as much as you say. 

 

Old transit same design pissed it
