truck sometimes pull 2axle tipper semtrailer ,and of course sometimes work with that body.......

and owner says that 5ton rock are no problem for that body
Body is very strong and resistant to wear and tear ( hardox http://www.ssab.com/brands/hardox/ )

what kind of rear suspention you have? if air (ECAS) do not FORGET TO REPROGRAM PSM, GM AND HM for tipper operation! ECAS must dump all air from air bags before tipper operation begins! else - may be roll over crash with twisted frame!
-
it have parabolic suspension 5 Springs /side rated at 38tons and very unusually it have disc brake all-round
edit: is there any function on ecas that it can stabilize tipper truck with air suspension on uneven ground? and how fast it can react in the case when one axle or one side collapse on soft ground(the truck is tilted) whether to act preventively to overturn.....like HPVS on Hydraulic suspensnion?
edit: btw Mercedes is the only manufacturer that dont offer 26t bogie on air bags man even have it on all wheel driveLast edited: Nov 14, 2010

well! so no safety issues and danger lurks. how did you install PTO unit? do you have Star Diagnose to program Griund Modul, FR and PSM?
-
Can you please answer the question from my last post -
-
i am not talking about actros mp2 , than generally tipper trucks with air suspension it is still very rare but....... -
yeah! they ECAS dumps air as fast as it does when you lower frame with remote controll. When truck is laden frame goes down like a stone in water. but.... anyway add mechanical dump valves. for example if air pressure in suspention system tank is lower 4 bar ecas valve wont working! so additional valves are your insurence!
on old trucks I used ABS valves as air dump valves. I used to parallel them with PTO solenoid.
