2024 Mercedes-Benz Arocs 1832 Tipper Truck

Commonly referred to as “dump trucks,” “dumpers,” and “tip trucks,” tipper trucks have an open box container at the rear with a hydraulic system that lifts the bed to dump the materials safely, making unloading fast and easy. These trucks are available in numerous sizes and capacities, ensuring you can find and buy a tipper truck that meets your needs.

Tipper Truck Uses

Tipper trucks, such as the ones based on the popular Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3240, Daf CF450, and Volvo FMX 420 models, are mainstays in construction, mining, agriculture, landscaping, recycling, municipal, and other sectors. Construction companies use tipper trucks to efficiently haul and dump everything from soil and rocks to construction waste and demolition debris.

Mining companies use “underground tipper trucks” to transport coal and ore, and landscaping businesses use these versatile vehicles to transport large loads of topsoil, gravel, mulch, and other materials to and from jobsites. Tipper trucks are also vital for removing rubble and debris on demolition sites and hauling fertiliser and crops to and from farms.

Tipper Truck Capacities & Sizes

Tipper trucks come in a wide range of sizes and hauling capacities. You’ll find light-duty tippers with capacities in the 3.5- to 7.5-tonne (3.9- to 8.3-U.S.-ton) range, while heavy-duty tipper trucks can take on loads up to 44 t (48.5 U.S. t). Although most tipper trucks for sale on TruckLocator.ie have a 4x2 or 8x4 drivetrain, 6x6, 8x8, 10x8, and numerous other configurations are also available, meaning there’s a tipper truck that can haul just about any capacity over just about any terrain.

Tipper Truck Features

Most tipper trucks have a cargo bed that tilts upward at the front, dumping the materials out at the rear. Some tipper trucks, however, have beds that tip sideways, which can be preferable depending on your load-placement needs.

Some tipper trucks for sale on this site are equipped with a hydraulic arm with an attached bucket, essentially forming a “grab lorry” that enables the operator to conveniently load materials into the bed without additional machines or manpower needed.

Tipper truck cargo beds are typically constructed of durable steel, lighter aluminium, or a combination of the two. Left and right drive sides are available, as are tipper trucks with day, crew, rest, or sleeper cabs. Types of transmissions for new and used tipper trucks include automatic, automated, and manual choices, and commonly available suspensions include air ride, spring, and leaf spring.
