The process of transportation of any cargo always consists of three components: loading, delivery and unloading. Suppose the cargo has already been transported to the farmyard. The moment of unloading comes - it usually happens here manually, rarely when it is possible to use a crane, except for removing some large-sized weights from the vehicle.

And all by hand! The work is time-consuming, whether it is bulk cargo or piece. Here the question of “mechanization of the process” involuntarily arises.

I took up this as well. I decided to design a small "self-dumping" trailer for a tractor with a carrying capacity of 2 - 3 tons. As strange as it may seem, my first glance was fixed on ... a kvass barrel. Officially, it is called the ATsPT-9 tank trailer for transporting kvass. Of course, I considered only the trailer itself, its frame, which can withstand a barrel of kvass with a total mass of about a ton.

As it turned out, it was created on the basis of a single-axle tractor trailer 1-PT-1.7. With its own weight of 0.8 tons, it was possible to carry cargo up to 1.8 tons on such a trailer; the installation platform - 2484x940 mm - was also quite sufficient to accommodate the trailer body I had planned.

trailer frame:
1 - front traverse (channel 100x46x5); 2 - spar (channel 140x58x5); 3 - rear beam, channel (120x52x5); 4 - scarf (corner 80x80x6); 5 - brace of the hydraulic cylinder installation (channel 120x52x5); 6 - central beam (100x100x4); 7 - longitudinal reinforcement (plate 100x5); 8 - drawbar, channel (120x52x5); 9 - transverse reinforcement (corner 50x50x5); 10 - coiled, channel (100x45x4); 11 - emphasis (plate (150x20)

Frame details of a homemade trailer

For the manufacture of the trailer frame, I picked up metal profiles similar to the channels on the frame: the front traverse with a section of 100x46x5 mm, side spars (to avoid the occurrence of longitudinal bends when passing on uneven roads) - more powerful - with a section of 140x58x5 mm; the rear beam, which accounts for most of the weight of the load when lifting the body, is 120x52x5 mm. The frame in diameter was reinforced with a central beam of a slightly smaller section - 100x100x4 mm. In addition, he secured the connection of the rear beam and spars with scarves. Thus, a metal frame with dimensions of 1800x1700 mm was obtained, all the joints of which are welded.

Tipper Trailer Lifting Mechanism

As a hydraulic cylinder, I used a 1PTS-9 tractor trailer lift. The stroke of its rod is 850 mm, which made it possible to raise the body at an angle slightly more than 50 °, sufficient for complete slipping from the ground.

Body frame diagram:
1 - side stand (channel 500x50x5); 2 - stringer (channel 120x52x5); 3 - spar (channel 100x46x4); 4 - loop; 5 - floor trim (corner 80x80x6)

However, in order to install a hydraulic cylinder on the frame, it was necessary to make a truss in the form of an inverted truncated triangle - a brace - from a channel with a section of 120x52x5 mm. On the resulting bottom platform of the brace with a width of 300 mm, I placed a hydraulic cylinder. As a stop in the upper part, I used a metal circle with a diameter of 650 mm, welded to the details of the body frame. I connect the hose directly to the tractor hydraulic system. The strut clearance is 300 mm.

Hydraulic cylinder in strut:
1 - hydraulic cylinder, L 675 mm, 0102, stroke 850, weight 26 kg; 2 - brace, channel 120x52x5; 3 - front traverse of the frame; 4 - the central beam of the frame. Strut clearance - 300 mm

Drawbar for single axle tractor trailer

It took a little longer to tinker with the drawbar. The wheels of the cart - from GAE-53 (8.25R20) - have a diameter of 962 mm, and it turned out that when connected to the tractor, the frame was not installed in a horizontal position, but with a significant slope. I had to “lower the drawbar”, and for this, it was welded under it from a channel with dimensions of 100x45x4 mm, in addition, in front of it, put another trailing thrust plate with dimensions of 150x20 mm. After that, the frame "aligned".

Frame front:
1 - front traverse; 2 - drawbar; 3 - transverse amplifier; 4 - shook; 5 - emphasis

DIY trailer body

Then I moved on to building the body. This is where things moved faster. Stringers and spars, again from channels 120x52x5 mm and 100x46x4 mm, laid in a honeycomb pattern at a distance of 550 mm and 600 mm on the floor strapping from corners measuring 80x80x6 mm. From above covered with sheet iron 2 mm thick. I hung the boards with a height of 600 mm from edged boards measuring 150x25, fastened them with vertical metal strips measuring 500x55x5 mm. In the corners they are locked with conventional side locks.

The rear stringer of the body is reinforced in the hinges of the rear frame beam.

It should be noted that in order to balance the center of gravity, the body had to be shifted in the horizontal plane by 200 mm forward from the axis along the frame.

Body size - 2500x 2000 mm. I place the load in it, as I planned, about 2.5 tons.

For several years, the trailer has been doing its job perfectly without any breakdowns or failures. I mainly transport bulk cargo, but I also have to load the trailer with hay, teddy grass, and also “iron”.

Cart for tractor - mechanical equipment for the transportation of goods. The structural and functional characteristics of the trailer must comply with technical parameters machine to which it will be attached.

It is quite possible to make a tractor trailer with your own hands. The process is quite simple if you follow the algorithm.

Tractor trailer device

The design of the tractor cart consists of the following parts:

• Wheels and chassis;
• Frames (frame part);
• side body;
• The mechanism responsible for lifting the body;
• Trailer device.

For functional features, tractor trailers are of two types:

Forced tipping - the body is lifted by additional mechanical devices.

Do-it-yourself tractor trailer

Before proceeding with the manufacture of the trailer, it is necessary to develop drawings and prepare consumable: metal sheets, channel bars, plywood, running block, metal pipes, two wheels with the same radius.

A homemade cart is made according to the instructions in seven stages. The first stage is organization and planning. It is necessary to develop drawings, lay technical background for a future device.

List necessary materials for trailer:

• Sheet steel;
• Channel, preferably steel or other durable material;
• Plywood sheets;
• Metal or aluminum pipes;
• running block;
• Wheels of equal diameter;
• Electrical equipment;
• Bulgarian or saw for metal;
• Fasteners and other elements for fixing structural parts.

The presence of electric welding will simplify the manufacturing process of the trolley, as well as strengthen all structural elements.

Trailer Key Parts Manufacturing Process

1. trailer frame. Construction: front traverse, strong rear beam, central axle that reinforces the lamellar web. For the manufacture of these elements, pipes with a diameter of 0.4 meters are suitable, which are connected by welding. The welded block will be static and motionless during movement when using channel side members. It is better to reinforce the connections of the spars and the rear beam with scarves for greater structural strength;
2. Wheel base. When designing, a steel rod with a diameter of 0.35 meters can protrude beyond the axis. The wheel base is attached to the frame with longitudinal hinges or supports from the corners;
3. Body. Can be wooden if suitable timber is available. But a more reliable option for containing heavy soils is metal or steel sheets. Body dimensions are determined individually and depend on the volume of work performed, the mass of the cargo. For a wooden trailer, you need high-quality solid boards. They are attached to a metal base. The edges of the trolley are fixed to maintain balance;
4. Connection of structural elements. After all the key parts are ready, you can start connecting them. The frame must be horizontal. Otherwise, the mount is balanced to withstand high friction and vibration during tractor operation;
5. lifting component. It is better to use a ready-made lift as a hydraulic cylinder. To connect to the frame block, you need a strut (for a truncated triangle). The upper stop (an ordinary steel circle is welded) is connected to the body frame. The hose is connected to hydraulic drive the unit itself;
6. Running in. The finished device must be checked so that it is as reliable, functional and safe as possible when using it. First, the trailer must be run in without a load. If there are no problems, tests can be carried out with an initially small mass.

Homemade trailer is suitable for various vehicles, including MTZ tractor 1221. To make it easier to make and use a cart, you should watch a special video on the topic.

For most agricultural machinery, a variety of equipment is offered, which in one way or another simplifies work and increases the functionality of tractors. For mini tractors, it will be very useful and probably even obligatory to purchase a special trailer. The properties of the trailer must fully match the tractor model used, otherwise their interaction and efficiency will be complicated.

Fortunately, today there are many trailers for certain models of equipment, so choosing the right product is not difficult. But for certain reasons, some tractor owners try to make a tractor trailer with my own hands which today is more than a simple and affordable task.

Tractor trailer device

Before you start creating your own trailer, it is important to know its structure and design features. Consists of the following parts:

• side body;
• several wheels and running gear;
• base - metal frame;
• body lifting mechanism;
• trailed for connection with a tractor.

Also, depending on the scope of use and the required characteristics, there are two types of trailers:

1. With one axle - the simplest and most popular model, especially relevant for the transportation of bulk or other materials;
2. With two axles - have a powerful design and therefore allow you to transport heavy loads and materials.

Tractor functions

Any tractor should be able to perform several functional duties, because its work is aimed at farms and household plots. If use attachments, the tractor is capable of:

• collect snow in winter;
• harvest in gardens, fields, farm plots;
• transport various goods;
• plow and cultivate the land.

And without a trailer, it can be impossible to complete such tasks, which means that everyone who buys a tractor must take care of such equipment as a trailer. Using a dump trailer, you can easily perform tasks such as harvesting and unloading crops, transporting seedlings, transporting crops, building materials and much more.

How to make a tractor trailer

1. Creation of a drawing of the future, which is created on the basis of indicators such as future application, load capacity, dimensions of each part, etc.;
2. Preparation of necessary materials - channels, steel sheets, pipes, wheels, plywood board, running block. Try to choose good quality metal materials.
3. A frame is being made, in which it is imperative to make a front traverse, attach fasteners for the central axis by welding and create a strong rear beam.
4. With the help of hinges and spars (side) the base of the wheels is created. In this case, the axle is fixed to the frame.
5. Body creation. The main material will be sheet steel, which is selected of sufficient thickness and quality.
6. Making trailer equipment, in the process of working, you need to create a balance between mounting the drawbar and the trailer frame.
7. Creation and installation of a mechanism for capsizing. It is extremely difficult to create it yourself, so a ready-made hydraulic cylinder is taken and attached to the body. Its task is to overturn the body and pour out the cargo. If desired, you can do without such a mechanism.
8. Trailer break-in is carried out by means of a short movement without a load on the trailer.

An important step is the installation of wheels, a great advantage is that you can install wheels and even springs on a homemade trailer with different cars. But keep in mind the moment that you need to install the wheels in the center of the trailer for a uniform load.

Many farmers are interested in how to make a homemade mini tractor trailer. Most rural residents appreciated agricultural equipment, but only more economical and compact, such as a mini-tractor. On such a vehicle, you can not only plow, loosen the garden, mow grass and remove snow, but also transport various goods. And for this type of work it is necessary to have a convenient and reliable trailer. Many are hesitant to buy such a simple but expensive product on Russian market but trying to do it by hand. But where to start and how to make a do-it-yourself tractor trailer?

How to make a trailer for a mini tractor with your own hands

First you need to decide what kind of agricultural work a trailer or a home-made trolley for a mini tractor will do. You can simply transport various goods, or you can transport manure and unload it using a dump truck. It will not be difficult to make the first option, but you will have to tinker with the second. Do not rush, you need to do it right away with high quality and thoughtfulness. First you need to draw diagrams. According to the drawings, a self-made cart or other types of trailers and tractor equipment will be manufactured. It is worth considering that hitch must have good carrying capacity and low weight. Then you should determine what kind of trailer to the tractor will be - two-axle or single-axle.

Consider how to make a single-axle trailer for a mini tractor with your own hands:

1. First you need to weld the frame and the reinforcing crossbar.
2. It is better to perform all connecting elements and pipe joints by welding. This will ensure the reliability and strength of the structure.
3. Then you need to weld from pipes of a smaller section racks for the seat.
4. Now let's decide on the choice of wheels. Since the product has 1 axle, 2 wheels are required.
5. It's better to take. They fit perfectly in diameter and have a reliable composition. With a reinforced tread, the tractor will be able to perform more complex types of loads, drive on bad roads without exposing the tires to punctures.

But a home-made two-axle trailer for a tractor is a little more difficult to make than a single-axle one, because a cart with 2 axles needs to do more welding and installation work. The frame can be made, as for a single-axle trailer. With such a vehicle, if you are a fisherman, you can transport a boat.

A two-axle trailer has a more robust design, as it has 2 axles and 2 pairs of wheels, so it has a large carrying capacity.

Also, the weight of the transported cargo is distributed on it evenly.

Consider the requirements for the body. There are no strict correspondences at this point, but there is a choice. The body made of metal is more durable and reliable. But a wooden body will get wet in bad weather and collapse, even if treated with special anti-corrosion coatings. Other materials can be chosen, but aluminum and sheet steel work best. They are very durable, withstand heavy loads and corrosion bypasses them. Next, you need to weld the sidewalls for the trailer.

It is necessary to paint the entire frame and body, making it more secure and reliable. Paint should be chosen taking into account the material. If you chose wood, then the paint should be for wood products. Color, of course, does not play an important role, but dark paint attracts heat to itself, which is not necessary for a tractor. But the light color of the trailer for a mini-tractor will be just right, because it repels the sun's rays.

How to make a dump trailer

Let's see how it's made homemade trailers do-it-yourself dump trucks for a mini tractor. If you decide to make a dump trailer, then you need to decide on the choice of lifting mechanism. There is nothing complicated here, as it seems at first glance. There are 2 options for dumping the trailer: manual self-tipping and mechanical. The first can be done by brewing to the front of the trailer handles. The tractor driver will lift the structure with his own hands. But one pen is not enough here.

See » Do-it-yourself complex repair of the MTZ-80 engine

It is necessary to make an L-shaped pin, pulling out which the trailer will tip over by itself under the force of the load. Mechanical will be a little more difficult to do than manual. You can make a mechanism that raises the trailer from different types lifting equipment. For example, it can be a jack or an electric motor with a battery, a winch or a hydraulic system, or you can get by with an oil pump. Attach the mechanism to the body in the most convenient way for you.

To attach homemade trailed equipment for mini tractors to the very vehicle, you will need to weld an elongated beam and attach a towbar to its end that fits your tractor. The finishing touches are the painting of the structure you made, the upholstery of the seats, the inflation of the wheels. Then you need to check how homemade works.

Comparison of homemade and factory trailers

You can buy a factory semi-trailer or a dump trailer. Trailers for mini tractors are sold in all cities of Russia. But the price may disappoint you. The cheapest type costs 10 thousand rubles, not to mention the design with a lifting mechanism.

Why spend money if you can make a reliable and durable trailer for your equipment with your own hands. One has only to have the materials necessary for the case and, most importantly, desire. By the way, if you have not decided on the choice of the tractor itself, then a reliable assistant for working on agricultural land is the Belarus MTZ tractor. This brand of the manufacturer differs from others in its quality and durability. Let the price be above average, but in terms of characteristics it is not inferior to other devices.

Independent production of tractor trailers of type 2 PTS-4 will not only save on the purchase of an expensive new unit, but will also launch a unique and profitable business!

Imagine hard farming days without using tipper trailers does not seem possible. You can't do without them both during sowing and harvesting. But what if the prices for new trailers bite a lot? The solution is simple - you need to build a trailer yourself!

Today we will consider all the nuances of manufacturing a dump trailer type 2 PTS-4. After spending just a couple of days, you will become the owner of a high-quality multifunctional unit that will greatly simplify field and garden work. We will also analyze how profitable the production of tractor trailers as a business is.

Do-it-yourself tractor trailer

To make a tractor trailer with your own hands, we offer you to download the assembly in a 3D model for free with all the details of all units and sizes. Using a 3D model, you can quickly and easily assemble a complete structure by working on a sample. This 3D model can be disassembled to the bolt.

The preliminary drawing shows only the main nodes, which in the SolidWorks program can be disassembled into the smallest details. Using this 3D model you don't need drawings. Everything is visible at a glance, and the dimensions are displayed in the properties of the parts.

Chassis

Let's look at the wheel system first. The chassis must be reliable and strong so that the platform installed on top can easily withstand any loads during the transportation of goods and their unloading.

Which tires should be preferred? Experts advise taking 9.0-16.0 models Ya-324A or NkF-8. We install disk wheels (brands 152F-406). Take care of quality and reliability brake system, because often pneumatic single-wire shoe brakes are installed on the front axle of tractor trailers 2 PTS-4. You can buy all the necessary components both at any local car market and on various specialized Internet sites. When choosing, you can pay attention to used parts. This will significantly reduce your spending budget. The main thing is that they are fully serviceable and functional.

The frame base of the chassis is welded from strong metal profiles.

Platform lifting is provided by a telescopic hydraulic cylinder attached in the middle of the frame. On the rear suspension mounted on semi-elliptic leaf springs, an axle with wheels is installed, as well as a special bracket for pulling the trailer into emergency and protective mudguards.

The front suspension includes both a wheel axle and a swivel bogie (see picture) that gives your trailer maneuverability. The electrical and parking systems, as well as pneumatic and hydraulic systems, are attached to the front. On the port side, a fuse rack is necessarily placed.

Platform and extensions

What does the body (platform) of the trailer 2 PTS-4 consist of? If schematically, then from a rectangular base, sides, racks and special locks. There are four support brackets on the bottom of the platform base, thanks to which it can be clearly fixed to the trailer frame. The front, rear and side parts of the platform are made of reliable profiled metal.

The design of the platform provides for the possibility of hinged fastening of extension boards, which allows increasing the volume of transported goods to almost 12 cubic meters. Thanks to this, the process of transporting the harvested crop can be accelerated almost twice!

Tractor trailer 2 pts 4

The carrying capacity of the self-made trailer 2 PTS-4 is 4 tons. The device of the platform of tractor trailers of this type is designed taking into account the transportation and unloading of bulk cargo. At the same time, it is permissible to load other types of cargo, which primarily include piece cargo. The main thing is to take care of the reliable fastening of the transported units so that during transportation they do not fall out or overturn the trailer.

When manufacturing, you must adhere to the factory overall dimensions trailer. They look like this:

• Length - 5 m 83 cm.
• Width - 2 m 39 cm.
• Height - 1 m 94 cm.
• Height, taking into account bunk sides - 2 m 47 cm.

For ease of use, a trailer should be made with the possibility of attaching double-deck sides. It will cost several thousand rubles more, but at the same time, you will be able to transport a much larger amount of agricultural cargo at a time.

Summing up, we note that the standard tractor dump trailer type 2 PTS-4 has three components:

1. Chassis.
2. Platform.
3. Extension boards.

You already know how their installation schemes look and what spare parts you should purchase.

Profitable production of trailers 2 PTS-4 with your own hands

Having carefully assembled all the details, you will receive a functional trailer for your own use, which will cost almost two or even three times cheaper than its factory counterpart. Having initially given preference to domestic components, you can easily carry out planned preventive maintenance and replacement of parts in the future without significant costs.

Having perfectly mastered the production of tractor dump trailers of type 2 PTS-4, you will be able to organize your business for the manufacture and sale of these irreplaceable agricultural units. According to experts, the profitability of such a business is estimated at high 50%. Therefore, you will not only engage in a unique and sought-after project, but also ensure yourself a good profit!

If new trailer costs over $4,000, then your cost of manufacturing such a unit at home will be no more than $1,800. Therefore, they can be sold with a good markup even without documents. Farmers welcome savings, so they will definitely prefer a quality, but cheaper trailer from your production to its expensive factory counterpart.

The main thing is to ensure maximum reliability, safety, functionality. It is also worth providing the buyer warranty service manufactured tipper trailers. And then you will not end up with customers!
