Tipper Truck Tailgate Hinge Kit: 40mm Catch x 35mm Bar | Dual Swing Hinge for Truck Tippers
This truck tailgate hinge, tip truck, and latch kit suits rear pivot assemblies on most tipper sizes.
Couplemate’s cast steel tipper tailgate hinges are designed for durability. Unlike regular drop-down hinges, tipper hinges attach to the top of the tailgate to open from the bottom, allowing the tilted tray to deposit its gravel load easily.
All parts are electrically bonded with a weldable black zinc coating (ElectroGal®)to help prevent rust in corrosive environments. After welding, spray the weld with matt black galvanised zinc spray paint.
Tailgate hinges suit either horizontal or side-swinging applications. They’re a convenient addition to your auto tipper or side-swing tailgate doors.

Benefits: Tipper Truck Tailgate Hinge Kit: 40mm Catch x 35mm Bar
Here are some of the benefits of installing a truck tipper rear gate kit:
- Increased convenience: You can open the tailgate from either side of the truck, which helps when unloading in tight spaces.
- Additional clearance: The side-swinging tailgate provides extra clearance when unloading the truck bed, which can be useful for large or bulky items.
- Improved safety: The side-swinging tailgate can help prevent accidents by eliminating the need to climb over the tailgate to open or close it.
Truck Tipper Tail Gates: The Importance of a Proper Design
Trucks are essential to modern transport, serving as the backbone of many industrial and construction activities. A truck’s efficiency depends on several factors, one of which is the tailgate design. In particular, the tipper tailgate is critical in ensuring that the loading and offloading process is efficient and safe.
A well-designed tipper tailgate accomplishes two things. First, it streamlines dumping by creating an unobstructed path for the load to slide out of the truck bed. Second, it provides a stable platform for workers loading or unloading. Therefore, a poorly designed tailgate, such as one that is too heavy or weak, can be hazardous, leading to injuries and even fatalities.
Tailgate Durability
Several traits should be considered when designing a tipper tailgate. These include weight distribution, durability, and ease of operation. Adequate weight distribution ensures the gate moves smoothly and does not damage the truck body or the load.
Durability ensures the tailgate can handle the constant wear and tear of daily use. Finally, the easy operation allows workers to load and unload efficiently, increasing their productivity.
Tipping and Unloading Safety
In conclusion, a well-designed tipper tailgate is essential for any truck. It protects workers and enables efficient loading and unloading. Therefore, manufacturers should prioritise these tailgates and ensure they meet industry standards and specifications.
This helps avoid accidents and lost time from malfunctioning tailgates, saving companies unnecessary expenses and keeping operations running smoothly.

Tailgate Hinge Installation & Alignment Guide
Tipper Truck Tailgate Hinge Kit: 40mm Catch x 35mm Bar
How to Install (Step-by-Step)
- 1. Align and square the hinge points: Position the 35mm hinge bar and the 40mm catch plates on a level surface, ensuring both sides of the tailgate assembly are perfectly parallel and square to the tipper body frame before tack welding.
- 2. Set structural clearances: Verify the spatial clearance between the tailgate skin and the tipper body floor, ensuring the hinge geometry allows a full, unobstructed swing radius when discharging heavy loads.
- 3. Execute structural load welding: Have a certified welder lay structural multi-pass fillet welds to secure the heavy-duty kit mounts to the chassis post or body top rail, matching the weld penetration to your tipper’s material thickness.
- 4. Test swing and latch engagement: Assemble the tailgate onto the newly welded components to dry-test the functional swing, checking that the mechanism operates smoothly without binding or catching on the body dropsides.
- 5. Lubricate and treat weld points: Apply a high-temp heavy grease to the contact surfaces of the 35mm pivot bar, then apply an industrial-grade anti-corrosive primer or topcoat paint to all raw weld zones.
