Hino tipper trucks take the lead from this Japanese manufacturer's impressive array of commercial vehicles and engines by offering power, efficiency and plenty of personality. You can buy a used Hino tipper for your firm at a surprisingly affordable price point, with the 700 Series coming in a range of resilient models with tipper bodies and large and comfortable cabs.
These vehicles deliver good off-road performance thanks to four axles, eight wheels and differential locking for consistent traction. They can also be a good platform for heavy-duty haulage on public roads, with sleeper cabs accommodating drivers on overnight stays.
The majority of the Hino tippers from the 700 Series that are available second-hand fall into the 32-tonne weight category, although there are still different tipper body types to select from amongst this family of trucks.
The standard open-top tipper body built with strong steel will be a popular choice for those seeking an all-rounder for various deployments in the construction industry. Meanwhile, bulk tippers with fully enclosed alloy bodies are also available, so it is important to check specifications carefully when looking at used examples.
Typical Used Hino Tipper
Integrated equipment is common across the Hino tipper range, much of which is about improving the efficiency of these trucks so that less time is spent loading them with materials before they can hit the road. Crane and bucket mechanisms mounted just behind the cab make it easy for an operator to collect whatever earth, rubble or other materials have been generated by construction work and load them into Hino's hard-wearing truck. Because you do not need other equipment to facilitate loading, a 700 Series tipper can often be deployed on its own to get work done without delay or additional expenditure of resources. Then when it reaches its destination with the load on board, the tipping rams can reposition the body and allow the contents to be ejected in record time. Some models even feature automated weighing capabilities to ensure that the optimal payload is reached without overburdening the truck and risking its structural integrity or compromising safety.
Emissions and efficiency are important even for this range, so Hino has equipped its tippers with various engines over the years with in-house designs that comply with continental and international standards. Euro 4 and 5 engines with cutting-edge mechanical and electronic systems allow for the automated management of many features, while reliable manual or auto gearboxes make the driver's time behind the wheel less arduous, even if a lot of stopping and starting is required on congested roads.
Sleeper cabs on Hino tippers will typically offer night heaters, air conditioning, sun visors and standard entertainment options, including radio and CD capabilities. Working lights, beacons and other features to make the truck more visible and safe while on site or on the road are also common on these 700 Series tippers from Hino, so it merely requires buyers to be aware of any maintenance issues that need checking before a sale is made of a second-hand truck.
