Ifor Williams Tipping Trailer - manual pump

[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]

The manual pump on my TT85 has stopped working.

Can anyone tell me if there are any seals/parts that can be replaced to get this working again?

If so where can I get them?

If I remove the hand pump do I need to drain the whole tank and bleed on installation?

 

Thanks

Give flowfit a ring - send them the pic and they will tell you what you need.

Likes of pirteks should have the seals also but most hydraulic places should be on the ball.

It's only a bottle jack workings

they use same thing for Truck cab tilting mech

off topic - but how well does the tip work with a hand pump? a couple of folks i know went for the battery option but they  end up letting them sit for a while especially over then forget to charge the battery and have to handball everything out

It’s a workout... Definitely works but is much harder than you’d think!

I’m looking for a 8’x5’ tipper, havent really decided on a brand as such, but i’m contemplating going for the manual hydraulic setup then fitting a flowfit electric kit to run along side of it. Will just fit a switchable spool valve for in the event of the electric side going flat or giving issues away from home.

hmm.....could be handy to have a an extra battery in case the van needs a jump...

The batteries on your tip trailers aren’t designed for jump starting other things.

The batteries on a tip trailer are a deep cycle, slow and steady release to provide constant power for a long period, hence to tip your ram top to bottom, and best replenished using a trickle charge.

A car battery is designed to give a big release of power in a short time, hence the initial whapp to turn your engine over till it fires, then the alternator tops it back up again at a fairly quick rate.

lived on a canal boat for a while - you can jump start stuff with a deep cycle battery, it isnt designed for it but wont kill them  - Infact the leisure batterys ran the starter for the boat engine - big old lump of a twin pot.  I've had to jump my van twice the last decade, im basically trying to justify laziness. because who wants a work out at the end of a day at the tip site? other wise id just keep hand balling
