Meiller — tipper bodies and hydraulics
Meiller is a German manufacturer of tipper bodies (Kipper) and hydraulic equipment, popular in aggregate haulage and earthworks. Meiller tippers are known for a solid body, but under intensive use abrasive loads and overloading take their toll — body cracks and hydraulic leaks appear.
What we repair on Meiller tippers
Load body. Cracks in corners, floors and floor-to-sideboard transitions. We weld S355 steel and wear-resistant Hardox — with matched wire and preheating so the weld does not crack again (methodology: welding a Hardox tipper body).
Lifting hydraulics. Overhaul and replacement of telescopic cylinders, repair of control valves, oil and filter changes.
Tailgates and hinges. Straightening, welding, replacement of hinges and locks, adjustment.
Anti-corrosion painting after welding repairs.
Where a Meiller body cracks most often
| Location | Cause | Typical repair |
|---|---|---|
| Floor in the discharge zone | bucket impacts, abrasion | welded-in reinforcement / section replacement |
| Floor-to-sideboard transition | bending stress concentration | welding with notch relief |
| Rear corners at the tailgate | tearing forces during discharge | welding, reinforcement |
| Around hinges and reinforcements | weld notches | re-welding, wire selection |
The same spots crack regardless of brand — half-pipe and tipper bodies work the same way.
How a Meiller tipper repair proceeds
- Inspection and quote — assessment of scope (body, hydraulics, tailgate, paint), cost estimate; photo documentation for insurance claims. Ask for a quote.
- Disassembly and preparation — exposing cracks, grinding out welds, removing the cylinder if it needs overhaul.
- Welding and straightening — body repair (S355/Hardox), straightening of sideboards and corners, tailgate and hinge repair.
- Hydraulics — cylinder overhaul or replacement, control valve service, oil and filter change, pressure test.
- Painting and handover — sandblasting, primer, top coat, functional test of the tipping system.
Meiller, Hyva and other brands in one workshop
Tipper hydraulic systems are often Meiller or Hyva equipment — we service both brands, so we diagnose the whole system, not a single component. Full range of tipper and half-pipe trailer repairs: tipper trailer service.
