Default Re: Vintage cable end dump trailers?

Hi Ed, everything! Really, I'm most interested in the cable routing, and how it is routed around the 5th wheel plate. I've seen some trucks dumping trailers, with the trailer turned 90 degrees to the truck. There must be some sort of pulley to allow the cable to make a 90 degree bend. Do you have any photos of cable dump trailers?

Default Re: Vintage cable end dump trailers?

Nathan I tried to find some photos ,even tried a search but nothing the place that I drove for got bought out. The cable went under the fifth wheel to the trailer and if that cable broke it was quite an experience especially if the box was up. There was a guy on ebay selling Smith Miller trucks with a cable dumping the trailer with one of rc4wd winches. After the cable lift they went to a deal were the pto was on the tractor and the pump was on the trailer with a whip connecting the pto to the pump. You would jack-knife the tractor then connect the whip between the tractor the trailer. With these you had to be careful when you drove them that you did not jackknife or the whip would come unhooked. Hope this helped you if I find anything in my travels I will let you know and if I can help you with any more info don't be afraid to ask. Ed
