Tailgates
CMP Engineers designs and assesses tailgates for mobile machinery and truck bodies operating in demanding industrial and mining environments. Our tailgate solutions are engineered for strength, durability and safe operation while supporting efficient material handling and controlled discharge.
We understand the operational challenges tailgates face, including high impact loads, abrasive materials, fatigue, misalignment and harsh site conditions. Our designs focus on reliable performance and ease of maintenance.
Our tailgate engineering services
Tailgate design and development
We design custom tailgates to suit specific truck bodies, material types and operating requirements. Designs consider load cases, impact forces, discharge behaviour and safe operation.
Structural and mechanical assessment
CMP Engineers assesses tailgate structures, hinges, pins, lugs, cylinders and locking mechanisms to verify strength, fatigue life and suitability for service.
Interface and integration
Our engineers ensure tailgates integrate correctly with truck bodies, tipping systems and control systems, maintaining compatibility and safe function.
Finite element analysis and fatigue assessment
We apply advanced simulation to evaluate stresses, deflections and fatigue life under realistic loading and operating conditions.
Wear protection and materials selection
We specify liners, wear plates and materials suited to the handled material and environment to improve durability and reduce maintenance.
Inspection, audit and life extension
CMP Engineers conducts inspections and structural audits of existing tailgates to identify cracking, wear and deformation, and develop life extension or upgrade solutions.
