What to consider when buying a tipper
Before driving away in your tipper, it’s important to consider a few factors to ensure you’re getting the best value for money:
- Size and payload capacity: Make sure the truck you choose can handle the amount of material you plan to transport. Consider the size of the truck bed and the payload capacity to ensure it meets your needs.
- Transmission and engine type: Depending on your needs, you may prefer an automatic or manual transmission, and you’ll want to ensure the engine is powerful enough to handle your typical loads.
- Payload Capacity: A truck's payload capacity is the maximum amount of weight it can safely carry. For instance, a basic 2-tonne tipper might have a payload of around 2 tonnes, while a larger truck and dog tipper can haul 20 to 40 tonnes. Some rigid tippers can carry 12 to 14 tonnes, and single semi-trailer tippers can range from 30 to 70 tonnes. It’s important to consider the payload capacity of a tipper before purchasing to ensure it can safely and efficiently carry the loads required for your operations without overloading, which can lead to mechanical issues, legal penalties, and increased operating costs.
