Ifor williams tipping trailer

[monkeynuts]

Hi folks i,m new to this forum thing , so please forgive me if i have posted in the wrong place.

 

i got a Ifor tt85 g tipper brand spanking new in 2010, electric tip. to deliver loose bark in bulk loads, so not much weight, actually its only ever tipped less than 40 times since new, all was going well till the other day then it will no longer tip,no warning it just stopped, so i checked the battery charge. all ok, it will descend no problem on the button, but raise it will not. the only thing it is raising right now is a sweat every time i need to unload it and my temper. any ideas to help me solve the puzzle ?

Undo the battery terminals clean and then tighten them back up. You may need to wiggle them a bit. Ours always does it so that may fix your problem

 

Cheers

try putting the remote plug in the trailer like normal then push the cable into the fitting to make contact, it happens to ours now and again

We had the same issue - fixed as described above.

thanks for the replies, so far i have checked and cleaned the battery terminals,

re-tightened them, checked the wander lead function and the input and output voltage at the isolater switch,- (red key) so far everything checks out good

when i had that problem, a wire inside the yellow box had come out of the terminal, take the box apart and check for loose wires, worth a try anyway

HI MONKEY try the plug on the trailer mate and the lead and look at red key switch and wires going to that some times the switch goes wrong thanks jon

I had an Ifor tipper of about the same age and the solenoid failed on the motor - mega bucks to replace and the trailer was out of warranty but to be fair to Ifor Williams they sent me out a new one FOC. Try bypassing the solenoid and see if the motor works.

If you need a new solinoid try harrier they supply all the bits for this pack alot cheaper than ifor. I would talk nicely to ifor and get them to sort it.

Hi and many thanks for the replies so far, i have been in touch with ifor, and its in the process of a warranty/goodwill gesture all being well, so when the dealer over here has looked at it, i will let you know the findings, but for a part to fail after so little use then this not normal and could suggest a parts quality problem. i,ll keep you informed as to the outcome.
