Tipper trailer ram issue
Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:21 pm
Hi
Not sure this is the correct section to post this in but I have recently refurbished a trailer I made many years ago, it has a caravan chassis and a tipper body I got off Ebay.
It has an electric motor with a solenoid to work the ram and hold it in place but the ram is letting by which it never used to.
Question is, is it the ram seal of the solenoid at fault ? and what do I check first.
Before you had to keep the button pressed to let the hydraulic fluid bypass, now it does it on its own.
thanks
