TECHNICAL CALCULATIONS

Two Easy Steps for Front Mount Dump Body Cylinder Force and Stroke Calculations

Unit of measure = inches

A = Center of load to dump body
hinge (in inches)

B = Length in inches, cylinder base
pin to body hinge pin

C = Stroke

D = Dump angle

E = Center of load

F = Hinge

Determine cylinder force needed.

This is the initial force needed to lift a load.

Approx. initial = Load (LBS.) x "A"
cylinder force "B"

Example:

45,000# x 80" = 22,500# of force
160" to start the lift.

NOTE: For a good design, the pressure on the first ram at the start of the lift should not exceed 800 P.S.I.
Determine cylinder stroke needed.

The tables and formula below will give you the required cylinder stroke for a dump angle.

Approx. Stroke = "B" x "D"

Example: 160" (B) x .845 (D) = 135" stroke

Normal minimum dump angle is 45°. Normal maximum dump angle is 57°
