Tipper redesign

Wider, cost-effective wear plate with Valast®

Most tippers rely on wide Q&T plates to eliminate center welds, as these high-wear, high-impact areas are best left unwelded. However, traditional coil-based plates have been limited to widths of 1800 mm—until now.

Valast® 400 and Valast® 450 are now available in widths up to 2070 mm, offering a game-changing alternative. With the potential for cost savings over Q&T wear plates, it's time to rethink your tipper design for greater efficiency and durability.

Optimized weld placement for durability and performance
Protecting welds and maximizing durability with optimized plate design.
Shifting the weld area can increase wear, but overlapping plates keep welds protected. Tests with Valast® show negligible plastic strain, as the main impact occurs at the tipper’s center—keeping weld zones outside the highest wear areas.
