MEILLER Quality and Efficiency
The ideal three-way tipper
This brochure contains detailled information on our threeway tipper product range.  
Every MEILLER three-way tipper is designed to ensure maximum productivity and economic efficiency, right from the first
day and for its entire operating life.
MEILLER three-way tippers are developed as system solutions for the harsh conditions encountered in the construction and waste disposal sectors – from bulk material disposal
to heavy demolition work.
Our three-way tippers are distinguished by optimised outside
dimensions which maximise transportation volume, a large
tipping angle and a long service life.
The use of high-quality materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes ensure that, in addition to a high payload
and degree of stability, our customers can enjoy an excellent
level of value retention when it comes to our tippers.
Close cooperation with chassis manufacturers enables us
to achieve an optimum degree of harmonistion between the
vehicle chassis and superstructure. The close exchange between MEILLER and the truck manufacturers enables us to
respond quickly to new market requirements and distinguish
us as a competent system supplier.

Three-way tipper type D316 and type D321
for 3-axle chassis with a technically permissible g.v.w. of 26 t to 33 t
Standard equipment
The type D316 for 3-axle chassis with a permissible gross vehicle
weight of 26 t proves its worth particularly in heavy construction usage. High-quality wear-resistant steel grades for body and sides, a
loading volume of 9.3 to 12.8 m3 and an automatic tailgate lock make
it a reliable partner. As a truck/trailer combination with Bordmatic and
a MEILLER centre-axle trailer it is an economic transport solution.
The tipper type D321 was designed for 3-axle chassis that are used
offroad or in export markets with a technically permissible gross
vehicle weight of 33 t. To this end the tipper features a larger loading
volume with appropriately more powerful hydraulics and subframe.
M-Jet side walls with smooth wall profile
(good for signage and cleaning), raised front panel, continuous, top-hinged side panels, top-hinged tailgate with
automatic cam lock, fixed corner posts with extended floor
chute.
Side walls comply with DIN EN 12642 
Code XL (Securing loads on road vehicles)
MEILLER high pressure hydraulics with surface protection by
nitrogen hardening ensure a long service life.
Thanks to in-house development and production the hydraulics are ideally matched to the application. The high tipping
angle and the lifting power reserve allow for optimum material flow.
Technical data Type D316 for 26 t chassis:
Rated load *)............................................................15,600 kg max.
Side walls.................................. 4 mm sheet steel VS 100 (400 HB)
Body floor................................. 5 mm sheet steel VS 120 (450 HB)

Patented, self-adjusting locks for the
side walls prevent rattling on empty
runs.
Top-hinged side
with hand-operated claw lock
Labyrinth-like principle for buffering the side walls
ensures a long-lasting good seal.
Guard plate: a screwed on protective roof at the front
panel offers effective protection for the components
and units between the tipper body and the driver’s cab.

Three-way tipper type D421 and type D428
for 4-axle chassis with a technically permissible g.v.w. of 32 t to 41 t
Standard equipment
With a technically permissible gross vehicle weight of 35 t on 4-axle
chassis and a loading volume of 13-17 m3 type D421 covers a broad
range of applications, from transporting all kinds of bulk material to
heavy usage on large building sites. The unloading chute, which is
fitted as standard, in combination with a folding under-ride guard
allow for precise tipping in a road finisher.
MEILLER offers the reinforced tipper type D428 for 41 t chassis
whose technically permissible gross vehicle weight is to be fully
exploited. With a large loading volume, a generously sized subframe
and more powerful hydraulics the tipper is ideally equipped for heavy
usage.
Hand-operated claw lock, patented, self-adjusting locks
for the side walls prevent rattling on empty runs.
Side walls comply with DIN EN 12642 
Code XL (Securing loads on road vehicles)

The MEILLER Bordmatic offers a significant day-to-day time advantage with automatic opening and closing of the left-hand side wall from the driver’s cab. Thanks to
the fold-down angle of almost 180° cargo can easily be loaded and unloaded. This
also provides another delivery method for cargo as well as being an unobstructed
discharge opening. The new kinematics and more powerful hydraulic ram ensure a
higher closing force and better ease of use.
