Abstract
Modern Three Axis Hydraulic Modern Trailer has been conceived having studied the difficulty in unloading the materials. In several
automobile garages, revealed the facts that mostly some difficult methods were adopted in unloading the materials from the trailer.
Now the trailer has mainly concentrated on this difficulty, and hence a suitable arrangement has been designed. Such that the
material can be unloaded from the trailer in three axes without application of any impact force. By pressing the direction control
valve activated. The fluid is goes to the hydraulic cylinder through valve. The ram of the hydraulic cylinder acts as a lifting the trailer
cabin. The automobile engine drive is coupled to the pump, so that it stores the high pressure fluid when the vehicle running. This
fluid is used to activate the hydraulic cylinder, when the valve is activated. By this research it is easy for the driver to unload the
trailer and also it reduces time and fuel consumption.

1. INTRODUCTION small fabrication of small model to have clear understanding

TRUCK-Trailer system is widely used for material
transportation in big construction projects. Due to its load
carrying capacity and material handling facilities, trailers are
being used as popular load carriers. In most cases where road
width is not sufficient, trailers face the problems while
unloading the material. It takes a lot of time to unload a single
trolley as all material cannot be unloaded at same place. Hence
additional time is required for turning of vehicle in highly
congested area. Also in case of large trolleys, if all the
material is unloaded at one place additional manpower is
required to arrange the material properly which finally
increases material handling cost. At the same time, the trailers
unload the material backside i.e. in one axis only. Modern
Three Axis Hydraulic Trailer incorporates the Hydraulic
cylinder. It is used to lift the load with help of Hydraulic
cylinder. The main purpose of this project is to unload the
material in three directions instead of conventional trailer
system in which the unloading is done in one direction. This
system is very much useful in constructional sites having low
turning space, to reduce the additional labour cost. It gives the
of idea.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Amboji Sudhakar Retal studied that trailer has lots of
applications in today’s world. In industrial and domestic
considerations, trailer can haul a variety of products including
gravel, potatoes, grain, sand, compost, heavy rocks, etc. By
considering wide scope of the topic, it is necessary to do study
and research on the topic of tipper mechanism in order to
make it more economical and efficient. In existing system,
trailer can unload only in one side by using hydraulic jack or
conveyor mechanism. By this research it is easy for the driver
to unload the trailer and also it reduces time and fuel
consumption. For making trailer mechanism with such above
conditions both mechanisms namely hydraulic jack and
conveyor mechanism can be used. But eventually it comes
with question that how both systems can arrange in single set
up? Answer to this question is nothing but this research work.

Alley & McLellan of Glasgow studied hydraulics was being
incorporated into truck mounted dump bodies relatively early
on, in which record shows one of the first hydraulic dump
bodies was the Robertson Steam Wagon with a hydraulic hoist
that received power from the truck’s engine or an independent
steam engine was developed another early hydraulic dump
body in 1907 that was power-driven by steam.
3. CONSTRUCTION
In modern three axis hydraulic trailer there are some
major parts from that one is hydraulic pump. Hydraulic pump
is mounted on truck engine, which is positive displacement
type and run with help of belt and pulley. Fluid from pump
goes to hydraulic cylinder, Other parts of trailer body are
mounted on the chassis, in which DC motor is mounted at
bottom with support which capacity is depend on trailer size.
DC motor consist driver gear and driven gear is mounted on
rotating plate. Between two rotating plates double acting
hydraulic cylinder is mounted, On one rotating plate bottom
end of hydraulic cylinder is fixed using joint and it tiled angle
of 60 degree to rotating plates. Other end of cylinder
containing connecting rod is fixed to other rotating plate
which is connected to trailer body. From hydraulic pump high
pressure fluid is supplied to the direction control valve and
flow control valve. The direction control valve and flow
control valve is in between the cylinder and pump. Locking
agreement is given to trailer body to unlock the remaining two
sides while unloading in one side.

4. WORKING
The material unloading process is done in three
axis with the help of locking arrangement and hydraulic
system. The fluid is going to the hydraulic cylinder through
the direction control valve and flow control valve. The
direction control valve is used to control the flow direction of
the hydraulic cylinder in both the direction and flow control
valve is used to control the flow of fluid towards cylinder. The

hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the rotating plates with
locking arrangement of trailer.
The DC motor and rotating plates with cylinder are
used to operate the trolley operations in various axis. The fluid
is given to the hydraulic cylinder by opening flow control
valve, when the knob is moved OFF of 4/2 DCV.
The high pressure fluid goes to the hydraulic cylinder.
The fluid pushes the hydraulic cylinder piston and move
forward. The piston moves towards the upward direction and
the trailer body is lifting the cabinet upwards and material is
unloading in one direction by help of locking arrangement.
The direction control valve is activated at the time of handle
“ON”. The pressure is then released from the bottom of the
hydraulic cylinder. Then the fluid returns back from the
bottom of the cylinder and trailer comes to its original position
as in ordinary trailer. Initially trailer is attached with the fluid
pump to 4/2 direction control valve which is the source of
pressurise fluid for pull/push of hydraulic cylinder. After that
this direction control valve is attached to hydraulic cylinder.
As a result of which hydraulic cylinder can operate smoothly
in both revered and forward direction.
The Hydraulic Cylinder is Mounted on the rotating
plates with tiled angle of 60 degree which is rotated with the
help of gear assembly and a motor, with the help of which
cylinder is rotated in 360 degree to unload material in three
direction. The 2nd end of cylinder is fixed at the centre of
trailer with the help of other rotating circular plates. When
unloading of material is done in another axis then direction of
cylinder change with the help of rotating plates and dc motor.
The direction in which unloading is done, that side of trailer is
locked by using locking nut for unlocking other two side. The
position of cylinder such that bottom of cylinder is in same
side of unloading and top side of cylinder is in towards the
opposite of unloading side because of that trailer move upward
in proper way and material can unload in other direction. For
unloading in third direction move the cylinder with help dc
motor in proper position and unload material in third axis by
making locking arraignment without moving the whole
vehicle.

5. FUTURE SCOPE
[1]. Pneumatic cylinder can be used instead of Hydraulic
cylinder to carry light weight load.
[2]. Instead of one large cylinder, two small identical cylinder
of same capacity can be used to lift higher loads. This
helps to reduce the pump work.
[3]. Precision control over the positioning of the cylinder can
be achieved by incorporating proper sensor arrangement.
6. CONCLUSION
The developed model exhibits the expected results.
Further modifications and working limitations will put this
work in the main league of use. This concept saves time &
energy which leads to efficient working. The constructional
work or the infrastructural work demands efficient and user
friendly machinery which will lead to more and more use of
modern three axis hydraulic trailer. Thus we have developed a
Modern Three Axis Hydraulic Trailer which helps to know
how to achieve low cost automation. The operating procedure
of this system is very simple, so any person can operate. By
using more techniques, they can be modified and developed
according to the applications.
