Front End Cylinders

Our Alpha Series is lighter, faster, safer and more efficient. It is the latest and fifth generation of front end tipping solutions. A complete system - cylinder, brackets and wet kit - it’s designed to deliver higher efficiency and safer operation at lower cost for applications such as mining, transportation and construction.

FE
The Hyva FE cylinder is lightweight, strong, stable and maintenance free and typically used when the headboard is slanted (angled). The tipping capacity for FE cylinders ranges up to over 100 tons. Our trunnion type FE tipping cylinders bring reduced weight and faster tipping to on-road rigids and (semi-) trailers.

FC telescopic front-end cylinders are primarily designed for straight headboard types with a capacity range of over 100 tons tipping weight. Our trunnion type FC cylinder is lightweight, strong, maintenance free and offers the most added stability to the tipper. The Hyva FC tipping cylinders have earned reputation for their reliability and value for money over many years.

Wet Kit

With knock-off and control options, cylinder-mounted tipping valves and filter options, Hyva Wet Kits feature gear pumps able to operate up to 250 bar. They’re highly flexible, too, as all elements can be installed on a modular basis - though maximum benefit is gained from use of the whole system.
Lower Dead Weight = Higher payload
Faster tipping and lowering = Shorter cycle time
Safer and more reliable = Reduced downtime
Most efficient = Productive & profitable
Cost effective = Can reduce operating costs
Longer service intervals = increased operating time
Lower oil & fuel consumption = Environmental friendly

Each of the hydraulic systems for tipping consists of a number of vital components, selected and assembled according to the requirements of each specific application:

  • Operating pressure (cylinder, valve, pump)
  • Flow (pump, valve, hoses, adapters)
  • Cylinder capacity (oil tank volume)
  • Type of vehicle
  • Type of gear box
  • Type of PTO
  • Torque of PTO
  • Direction of PTO rotation
  • Tipping time
  • The position on the vehicle for individual elements, the system efficiency
  • Control system and other extra functions

HYVA Smart

Intelligent tipping
We believe in empowering drivers through technology, in making tipping efficient, safe and easy. Hyva Smart monitors important safety aspects and intervenes when needed, with faster-than-human reflexes. Features such as empty body indication and easy lower help you save valuable time and will provide more comfort and control during your work.

Hyva Smart Fleet Management Solution is designed to increase fleet efficiency and productivity.
The new, sensor-based monitoring system adds intelligence to tipping vehicles. It provides the advice and assistance which helps make better decisions, improving safety and efficiency before and during the tipping operation.
The system is compatible with Hyva front end cylinders – Flash (retro-fit) and Alpha (retro-fit or new) – in Mining, Construction and Transport applications. It is available for both rigid trucks and tractor-trailers.

Supported on Android operating system, it is available in multiple languages, and, in both Imperial and Metric calibration. Additional analogue sensors can be added to the system and their outputs will display in the Smart phone App, e.g. proximity sensors for sheeting system or rear door position.


Benefits

Driver awareness of (tipping) safety, especially under variable operating conditions.
Reduced damages and liability due to unsafe operation.
Improved performance due to partial automation of customer workflow, and insights into driver behaviour.
Reduced manual trip administration.
Optimized uptime due to planning of maintenance based on actual use.
Expandable product platform to meet market (segment) specific needs.

Features

For The Fleet Owner

  • Tipping truck location and history routes
  • Tipping truck trip data (for example: how much has been unloaded and where was it unloaded)
  • Fleet analysis pages (for example: overview with bar graphs to compare different trucks with each other)
  • Management reports (Showing performance and maintenance information in table format)

For The Driver

  • Warning for dangerous side load angle (2 steps: first alert and then danger warning) and warning for overload
  • Payload indication, body empty indication and tipping summary
  • Statistics with amount of load and tipping cycles per day and total lifetime
  • Maintenance information and warnings (air filter replacement, return filter replacement, cylinder oil change, bush replacement and bush greasing)
  • Designed for day and night, 24/7
