Re: Dumptruck Dolly

One thing I have wondered about dump trucks and their mechanisms is the geometry of them. Some are scissor like your version and some are just a straight push with no scissor action. Is the scissor for better ratio? Or is it to compress the space needed for the hydraulics? The non scissor type seem to need longer rams and a bigger reservoir. For instance your roll back seems to be a straight push and Dolly has a scissor.
