Buying a Tipper Truck

Are you looking for a tipper truck for your construction or transport business? Our range includes high-quality trucks from leading brands such as MAN and Volkswagen, suitable for all kinds of loose bulk materials, from asphalt and sand to scrap metal, stones and mining materials. One popular model is the MAN TGS, well-known for its durability and strength on rough terrain.

Types of Tipper Bodies: Single, Dual and Three-Way

Tipper trucks come with different unloading mechanisms:

• Rear tippers unload backwards.
• Side tippers unload to either side.
• Three-way tippers can unload to the rear and both sides, providing maximum flexibility.

Three-way tippers use a hydraulic system to tilt the body in different directions, making them especially useful on construction sites with limited maneuverability. Trusted brand for robust steel bodies are Meiller and Cantoni, and features like drop sides or locking tailgates help secure materials during transit.

Axle Configurations & Drivetrain

The right axle configuration is crucial for off-road capability and load distribution. We offer tipper trucks in various configurations, such as:

• 4x2, 4x4
• 6x2, 6x4, 6x6
• 8x4, 8x8

For example, the MAN TGS 41.400 BB CH 8x4 Tipper Truck provides excellent traction on loose or uneven surfaces. Many models include hub reduction axles, which reduce the strain on the drivetrain, improve grip and extend axle lifespan, especially under heavy load conditions.

Optional Features to Maximize Efficiency

To boost functionality and convenience, our tipper trucks can be equipped with several useful options:

On-board loading cranes for self-loading capabilities
Tailgate systems for controlled unloading
Cover tarps to secure loose materials like sand or gravel
These features improve both safety and efficiency, reducing the need for additional loading equipment or personnel.

Tipper Trucks with Loader Cranes

For maximum versatility, we offer tipper trucks fitted with integrated loader cranes. This all-in-one solution is ideal for loading and unloading heavy or bulky materials on-site without the need for external lifting machinery. Loader cranes from top brands like Palfinger, Hiab, Fassi and Hyva are available, and can be mounted on models such as the MAN TGS or Volkswagen Constellation.

These crane-equipped tippers save time, reduce labor costs, and enhance job site safety, making them a valuable asset for any construction or logistics company.
