Phelps Truck Dumper Features

Yokes (Extended Arm Dumpers)​

Ordinarily, yoke dumpers are used to dump into above-ground live bottom hoppers for feeding to mill or storage. Phelps will engineer a yoke dumper to fit your existing hopper or furnish a complete dumper and hopper package.

Wheel Chocks​

36 ̊ and 45 ̊ dumpers are available with hydraulically operated wheel chocks. The trailer tires rest against the raised chock to keep the truck
on the platform during the dumping operation. These chocks are carefully engineered and heavily constructed to retain the load against them and to compensate for any misalignment of the truck on the platform.

Wheel Guides

Wheel Guides are an integral component to every Phelps truck dumper which is used to safely guide the truck on and off of the dumper. The wheel guides are formed from steel and fully welded to the driving surface of the dumper.

MODELS
The available models are determined by the dumper length and the tilt angle. Our standard lengths are: 35’, 40’, 45’, 60’, 65’, 70’,and 75’ which in dictates the amount of usable deck. Angles of tilt to dump specific products vary, therefore, we have four standard degrees of tilt: 36˚, 45˚, 55˚ and 63˚. These dumper models involve three types of installation, permanent placement, semi-portable, and fully portable units.
Reclaim Conveyors
Phelps Drag Chain Reclaim Conveyors are offered in three different models; Cross feed, Under pile, and Loading. Cross-feed Reclaimers are used as take-away conveyors from our receiving hoppers. Under pile Reclaimers are used to take-away wood chips from piles created by a woodyard stacker. A Loading Reclaimer is fed material by a front-end loader; this material then can be conveyed to another destination.
Cylinders
Phelps telescopic hydraulic cylinders are the heart of our dumpers. They are designed, manufactured, and warranted by Phelps Industries. Each cylinder is engineered for each specific truck dumper application. Some insights into our design are increased lap be tween stages for strength and a wider bearing for long life. All our steel tubes are machined through our CNC machines.
Backstops
The backstop is a reinforced structural member of the truck dumper that supports the trailer bumper and is designed to withstand the weight of the fully loaded truck. Backstops are used when the tilt angle is too great for wheel chocks. There are several types of backstops depending on the application such as fixed height, adjustable height and drive-through backstops. In some applications vibrators can be added to the backstop to aid in material unloading.
The Deck
Here our main goal is strength and rigidity. The deck is built with two heavy steel wide flange beams running the full length. These beams are also parallel to the wheels on the trucks and trailers driving onto the deck. In this location the beam take the maximum load. Steel safety plate is welded to the top of the wide flange beams and cross members. Mild steel plates are welded to the underside of the unmaking a box section for maximum rigidity and strength. The entire deck is welded together in the plant and shipped in one piece.
Dust Abatement

Phelps offers options for dust abatement and collection on our extended arm truck dumpers and above-grade hoppers. Contact Phelps for more information.

Mounting Options

“A-Frame” Cylinder Mounting (Pit-less)

The “A-Frame” model is designed and built for above ground installation. This type of truck dumper is very desirable in areas with a high-water table or locations where the soil does not allow the digging of a cylinder pit. The “A-Frame” arrangement allows for easy access to the deck cylinders.

Under Deck Cylinder Mounting (Pit Type)

This model is sometimes preferred when the water table permits, and the cost of excavating a cylinder pit is not prohibitive. It leaves clean lines (flush with the ground) when in the down position.

Assembly and Installation

Assembly of your Phelps dumper is done for you in our plant. The deck is shipped as a complete weldment with back-stop or wheel chocks installed. Only the “A-Frame” and “Yoke” dumpers require some field assembly. No field welding is required on pit type units. Phelps dumpers are shipped to the job site on flatbed trailers and are ready to unload from truck to foundation; thus, installation is simple, and costs are kept to a minimum.

Your Bottom Line: Increased Productivity and Higher Profits.

Phelps hydraulic truck dumpers do more than make the job go smoother. You will notice a dramatic improvement in savings of time, energy and labor … plus greater plant efficiency and improved working conditions. Also, receiving your raw materials in bulk trailer loads will, in the long run, cut costs of freight to your plant. This savings, overtime, can pay for your new Phelps dumper. The net result to you is increased productivity and higher profitsWhatever or wherever your application, there’s a Phelps Hydraulic Truck Dumper that will increase your bottom line.Let us put our proven experience and expertise to work for you.
