System and method for preventing power head rollover during a dump operation by monitoring front struts

A system is disclosed for preventing power head rollover of a vehicle (100) during a dump operation. The system includes a dump signal indicating when the vehicle (100) is dumping, a strut sensor reading indicating a condition of the front struts, and a controller receiving the dump signal and strut readings, and activating a warning signal when the dump signal indicates the vehicle (100) is dumping and the strut reading indicates the front wheels (120) may be lifted off the ground. The strut sensors can be height, pressure or other types of sensors. The controller can also disable further lifting of the dump body (142) when the dump signal indicates the vehicle (100) is dumping and the strut sensor indicates the front wheels (120) may be lifted off the ground. The system can include a strut limit, and the controller can act based on comparing the strut reading to the strut limit.
