Tipper truck or chip trailer?

Recommended Posts

I use a ford ranger pick up as my daily truck, saws and kit in the back seats and chip goes in bed. I fill the truck up most days with chip in fact I need to tip most days half way through and if we have a big job on I am constantly back and forward! I couldn't be without a 4x4 up here in sunny Cumbria and I can't sell my pick up as I have put quite a bit into it. What I am thinking is either getting a tipper i.e a transit or something which will be used for bigger jobs when there is a load of chip or getting a tipping trailer to chip into? I am weighing up fuel costs as I would be making double journeys in the pick up or running a second vehicle?? What do others find works best, I notice some of you have second trucks, but are they only there for having multiple gangs of people going to another job? Any pros or cons would be great cheers.

Yeah, I should trade in my Ifor for a tipper trailer, yours looks handy.

18 months ago when I bought my new(er) tranny I took my old 98 one in for a CT just out of interest. Blow me down if it didn't pass! So that was the second tipper covered for a bit That runs out in December. We'll see then.
