Dump Truck question

[Alasdair Ryan]

You should brace the LA much better than that.

Have you ever seen a support to help keep a cab tipped open (crane truck and unimog)?

If you turn that around and attach the LA to the middle of the upper beam then you should get a good strong tipping angle.

Great! Guess we both have to thank Zblj for this great solution

I think ZBLJ got enough thanks from me recently

Thanks, I'm not exactly sure what you're saying(still a really novice builder ) If its not too much work could you do a quick mock up in LDD or something. Its ok if you don't have the time

I hope you can see this image below and how it works,but that is what you want,the ram is turned around so it is facing the front of the truck.

On the yellow truck the ram is part of the linkage system.
