Title: After Market Tilt Tray on 'Cruiser Tilly (or Defender, Patrol etc)
Post by: Steffo1 on July 11, 2016, 02:43:22 PM

Has anyone had any experience with doing this? It seems there's not too many suppliers for this sort of set up.
Any advice appreciated.
Steve

We had an ally tray with a hydraulic single ram lifter on the work Hilux non 4wd ute .. Seem to remember that it did have a warning placard about weights and positioning of loads on the tray ..
From memory it had chassis doubler plates bolted along the rear chassis forwards to give extra strength to the pivot area and a bolt in cradle for the lift ram / hydraulic pump resivoir unit ..
From memory max lift weight was < 500kg .
Still on Holz atm and not sure whether the ute is still over in the maintenance shed or been sold .
Found this on Goggle http://www.tipperkits.com.au/ (http://www.tipperkits.com.au/)  And http://www.nixons.com.au/item/1-ton-ute-tipper-kit/ (http://www.nixons.com.au/item/1-ton-ute-tipper-kit/)

I had Elec/hydraulic tipper setup on a Kia Ceres 4wd which went ok way back when. There was a mob doing them off exhaust jacks which looked much lighter and less trouble. I never used one though.
