Method and system for operating a tipper

A system for a tipper comprising a tipper body pivotably moveable with respect to a frame with a hydraulic cylinder disposed therebetween which can be actuated by a hydraulic actuation system to pivot the tipper body, the system comprising:

• a lateral condition determining module arranged to:
• receive at least one lateral state parameter relating to at least one lateral state of the hydraulic cylinder;
• determine whether the lateral condition of the hydraulic cylinder is within acceptable limits based on the at least one lateral state parameter;
• and
• a hydraulic actuation system control module arranged to alter, or permit alteration of, at least one operational parameter of the hydraulic actuation system if it is determined that the lateral condition of the hydraulic cylinder is within acceptable limits.
