Tipper and tipper cage

What is a tipper/cage tipper?

Tipper offers the flexibility to transport a range of bulk and other loads, with the ability to tip bulk loads from the rear of the vehicle, or sides of the vehicle if it's a 2 or 3-way tipping system.  It's an essential tool in the light construction and horticultural sectors. Tipper is usually loaded from overhead hoppers or manually. At the destination, the back is tipped to discharge the load. The body of the vehicle is pivoted at the back. 

From minor DIY landscaping tasks to larger construction projects, tipper offers the ideal solution for transporting materials and waste, and tipping them directly into the required destination without human help, saving you time and labour costs.

In addition to the tipper, a cage body is normally found on light commercial vehicle chassis for transporting loose cargo, often household items (i.e house clearance) and recycling collected from doorsteps. Less common are cage bodies on articulated trailers used for transport of larger items such as plastic water and gas main pipes.

Most common uses

Tippers are widely used in many sectors, the most common being:

• construction
• building and building supplies
• landscape and gardening
• scrap metal recovery
