Tipper bodies are commonly made from high-tensile steel e.g. Hardox or aluminium. Steel offers strength and durability for heavy loads, while aluminium is lighter, improving payload and fuel efficiency.
Yes, we offer professional maintenance and repair services for our truck bodies and trailers. Our experienced technicians can perform routine maintenance, as well as diagnose and repair any issues with your tipper body.
Lead times for custom orders may vary depending on the complexity of the project and our current workload. We will provide you with an estimated lead time when we discuss your project.
Most are custom engineered to suit major chassis brands (e.g., Isuzu, Hino, Volvo, Kenworth) and require mounting kits, sub-frames, and hydraulic systems tailored to each. Our in-house engineering team will assist with making sure your new truck is well fitted.
Tipper bodies are powered by a PTO-driven (power take-off) hydraulic pump, operating a cylinder that raises the body. Single- or multi-stage hoists are used depending on the load.
Typical tipping angles are between 45° and 50° to ensure full discharge of materials like gravel or soil.
Approximately 10–30 seconds, depending on load weight, pump type, and system configuration.
Sluggish lifting, uneven tipping, leaks, or inability to hold position suggest cylinder/pump issues or low oil.
Yes. They must comply with national standards (e.g., Australian Design Rules or ECE Regs), including load restraint, underrun protection, and safe tipping angles.
Absolutely. Common customizations include tailgate types (barn door vs. swinging), toolbox fittings, tarp systems, and load covers.
