What Is a Tipper Van?

A tipper van (or tipper truck) features a flatbed or enclosed body that can be raised hydraulically to tip its contents out of the rear or side. They're built on chassis cab platforms and come in single cab (2-seat) and double cab (6-seat) configurations.

Double cab tipper, Carries a crew of up to 6 plus tools. Perfect for landscaping and construction teams
Three-way tipper, Tips rear and both sides for maximum versatility
Caged tipper, Fitted with mesh cage sides for garden waste and lightweight materials

Popular Tipper Makes
