I've not long bought a dumper at auction and I don't really have any idea what it is. It's fully running but I'd like to fully service it and fluids change. First step: identification.

Some clues,
  • It has a 1988 Lister-petter TS3 engine.
  • Marking under the skip,

  • Fuel and hydraulic tank caps have UCC on them.
Any ideas?

the other Zenica mark looks like a rolling mill mark for the steel section it's made from

Thanks @JD450A , it seems to be a Winget! Managed to find some manuals for them too. Thanks again everyone.
Out of curiosity what tonnage do you think it is.

Winget made bloody good units and the 2t machine is still made for export to this day I believe. I've never seen one as modern and big though.

What age do you put on that dumper?
I see it as late 70’s very early 80’s possibly?
It’s on older than the engine if that is in fact a 1998 imo

1988 I reckon. Be in the Sanderson era of Winget.
Sorry, my typo saying engine is 1998, he says 1988.
I still think it’s earlier than that. I had iirc a 1987 machine and it was different to that, that one looks an older design to me.

Winget had two stark designs, the 2 tonner with a very long shallow skip, and the larger units with deeper shorter skips.
IMHO it's got a very curious skip. I've not seen such a nice unit on a winget before, but the dumper is Definetly of the larger 3t or so variety,.

looks to be of a similar size, chassis wise, to my alldrive 6t, but the skip'd struggle to hold that amount IMHDO :unsure: ...4.5/5t 'praps ??

Engine def ''88 from the serial number of course doesnt mean the machine is '88. Yes the skip looks to be different from the Winget models I can pics of online and in their manuals, I guess it's been replaced or moded or fixed at some point. I have idea what tonnage it is. They seem to have done models with TS2 or TS3 engines, I have the TS3, maybe that suggests it's a larger capacity than one with a TS2.

The Sanderson Winget dumpers I am familiar with I’m sure had TS3 in 3 tonner and TS2 in two tonner. But they never looked quite like that one you’ve got….Similar, but not the same.
