Hiring a Tipper Truck

For those people, particularly in construction, who require a long or short term hire arrangement for a van or truck, one of the best vehicles on the market to hire is a tipper truck. Not only is it an efficient way of moving large volumes of building and landscaping materials or waste from both domestic and commercial sites, but it’s also a hugely cost-effective option. 

Here we discuss the benefits of hiring a Tipper Truck. 

Size 

You should always consider the volume and weight of the materials that you want to transport. Tippers come in a range of sizes and capacities allowing you to really pick the best-sized van to meet the scale of the project you need it for. The trailer can also vary in terms of length, so again this could have a huge impact of the size Tipper you require and the driving experience up front. 

Long Wheel Base vans give you more storage in the back with a longer bed and is suited to a larger turning area. Whereas Small Wheel Base Vans are more suited to city traffic and narrow streets with a better turning circle. 

 

Operation 

Popular for their hydraulic lifting and tilting motions, the Tipper truck can unload the contents of their container without the need for a person to be there helping the loadout. Especially convenient for smaller workforces! The precise unloading and manoeuvrability are hugely popular with construction workers because it doesn’t compromise on weight capacity. 

 

Cost-Effective 

Hiring a Tipper truck is a cost-effective way of transporting materials between sites for both small and large companies and businesses. When hiring with VMS Vehicle Hire, all prices for Tipper trucks include breakdown cover, insurance and VAT to make the rental process as easy as possible. Especially when you are in need of a Tipper at late notice.
