Valve for tipping truck is a type of valve designed to use in tipping trucks. It is an essential part of a truck's tipping mechanism, allowing its mechanisms to function properly. Valves are parts of the hydraulic system of a tipping truck.

A tipper truck is a truck with a tipping body (also being called a dump body), hence its name. A tipping truck's primary goal is transporting cargo. It can be either dump such as sand, gravel, or demolition waste, hence its other name, the dump truck, or different materials and resources like crops and fertilizers, among many others.

In contrast to loading wagons, tipping trucks cannot collect cargo themselves and need to be loaded by a different machine, for example, a harvester, a loader, or a conveyor belt. Tippers can also be filled with cargo at a silo or train station. Other names for the tipping truck include tipper lorry (UK, India), tip-truck, tip-trailer, tipper truck, or tipper (Australia and New Zealand).
Modern tipping trucks are equipped with an open-box bed, which is hinged at the rear or one of the sides, and equipped with hydraulic rams to lift the whole container, hence the need for valves in tipping trucks. This mechanism allows the material to be removed quickly and effortlessly. The main purpose of tipping trucks can be summarized as an easy way of temporarily storing different kinds of cargo and then transporting it from one location to another.

There are many different types of tipping trucks. They are dependent primarily on the intended use, parameters, dimensions, properties, and methods of emptying. Aside from a standard tipping truck, there are also semi-trailer end tipping trucks, transfer tipping trucks, truck and pup trucks, super dump trucks, semi-trailer bottom tipping trucks, double and triple trailer bottom tipping trucks, side tipping trucks, and roll-off trucks.
