Truck Vibrators

Truck vibrators

Truck vibrators are practical solutions to material hang ups in dump truck beds or bridging in spreader trucks. The driver operates the vibrator with a push button inside the cab. Truck vibrators are available in 12 Volt DC, 24 Volt DC, hydraulic, and pneumatic power sources. Sealed against dust and moisture, these vibrators provide long life even in adverse conditions.

Truck vibrators improve safety by helping to keep the driver in the cab and off the truck. Truck vibrators improve productivity by reducing the time for manual clean out or by increasing the load of each trip if the bed is not cleaned out each time.

Kinds

Hydraulic Truck Vibrators

Hydraulic vibrator is an alternate power source to the DC motor vibrators. The force output of this model makes it suitable for use on 15 to 30 cubic yard trucks. Flow controls can be added to provide variable force output. Hydraulic pump capacity usually limits the operation of the vibrator to when the truck is not lifting.

Air Piston Truck Vibrators

Piston vibrators are another alternate powered vibrator. Piston vibrators are inexpensive and easy to install. The most common application is on bottom dump gravity discharge hopper trucks or trucks which are discharged pneumatically. Air compressor capacity and receiver tank size on most trucks limit the run time of the small piston vibrators to just a few seconds. For trucks requiring a large piston vibrator(s), an external air source is needed. This is often available at an unloading site especially when the material is being conveyed to a storage bin. Weld on drop in brackets for mounting the vibrators are available for different manufacturers' trucks.
