ALPHA Series

The latest generation

Hyva, for many years a global leader in manufacturing and selling hydraulic tipping systems, has designed the latest generation of hydraulic Alpha tipping systems. 
From the beginning, the Alpha concept was designed to create an innovative and highly competitive tipping system. A system which was responsive to market trends and which, in demanding working conditions, would improve efficiency, reliability and safety for customers. The Alpha generation has made a significant difference and is increasing the productivity of tipping trucks and trailers. 

Today’s truck and transportation business is all about efficiency and advantage – any time or fuel saving can be directly translated into profits. The Alpha generation has achieved this advantage through evaluation and re-engineering of the entire hydraulic tipping system.

All critical components have been reviewed, revised and harmonized to increase the overall system efficiency. Although each of these components – such as pump, valve, tank, and others – is a top quality product when used as a stand-alone item, its full potential can only be realized as part of a complete, well configured, and optimized Alpha system.

Such a high increase in efficiency was only possible by making innovative and brave technical decisions. Learn more

Safety at the highest standards

With Alpha generation, safety issues have been addressed at the highest level in the design of every component.

The most important way to assure safety with high speed and high-pressure cylinders is to use materials with higher stress resistance, and, to optimize the sealing system and stop rings design.

Key safety actions taken around the cylinder

First, the Alpha tipping valve can be mounted directly on the cylinder. In this configuration, it can react to any critical situation in the cylinder very quickly and efficiently to reduce the pressure. Once mounted on the cylinder directly, it also acts as a hose burst valve. In the event of feeding hose failure, it stops the oil from the cylinder in a controlled manner.

Like all Hyva HT tipping valves, Alpha HT is a very precise and proportional valve to assure smooth operation without unnecessary peaks of pressure. Hyva HT vales are the pilot operated type, which respond very quickly to any overpressure situations which, in extreme cases, can lead to damage of the cylinder or even the tipper collapsing.

To avoid working pressure setting changes being made by unqualified persons, the Alpha HT valves use fixed pressure cartridges. This significantly reduces risk of damaging the vehicle during the installation as no setting by the installers is needed, and, during operation to prevent overload related situations.

Designed for robustness

All hoses and adaptors are designed and tested with pressure values 4 times higher than the Alpha 250bar pressure standard. This makes them the most robust parts of the system.

Knock-off valves installed directly on the cylinder enable disconnection of tipping before the cylinder can reach the end of the stroke. This helps to guard against sudden pressure increase in the system, and extends the lifespan of the cylinder, pump and the overall system.

Hyva pumps are designed with safety in mind

The housings are designed to cope with pressure much higher than nominal pressure. This prevents dangerous pump cracking in the event of extreme pressure situations. Also, each Hyva pump is equipped with a drainage system, which not only indicates internal leakage, but also prevents very costly damage to the gearbox when oils are transferred between the gearbox and pump.

Tailored solution

The Transportation business has been evolving such that, increasingly, vehicles are used for specific applications, resulting in vehicle builds which are tailor made for the job challenge. For this reason, Hyva Alpha was developed to address several applications and market segments, to deliver a system which is best matched to a given application.

We can select standard or heavy-duty cylinder versions, depending on the working conditions of the vehicle. Additionally, for each version, a hard chrome option can be added.

With an extensive range of Hyva Alpha cylinder sizes, we can select the cylinder size to match exactly the tipping capacity needed. And, to reduce the weight and power consumption of operating an oversized cylinder in an application where this is not needed.

An extensive wetkit portfolio helps with specifying a hydraulic system – cylinder size, type of truck, gearbox, and PTO – to match given working conditions, to make sure we reach the best performance at best possible weight and power consumption.
