Madd Trucker Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I am building the Italeri Mercedss Actros with the Italeri dump trailer where would the hydraulic tank be located on the truck for the trailer any help in this would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Either on top of the frame behind the cab or on one side of the frame rails if there is space for it. You might have to extend the frame some to get it to fit and as the Actros is only a 2 axle single drive Euro spec tractor I would consider making it a 3 axle single drive with a pull or push axle or a 3 axle dual drive as a dump truck will go off road.

Madd Trucker Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 also if mounted on the frame behind the cab how is it driven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) Well the tank is just a tank so you need a hydraulic pump, it's usually driven from a PTO on the transmission...PTO is Power Take Off...so you need a feed line to the pump and a high pressure line from the pump to the trailer, and a return line back to the tank. Something like this. Edited February 8, 2023 by Force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
