So true Steve, its about time you had to be registered to make tipper backs, like the Corgi scheme, stop these cowboys doing their own!!!:laugh1::lol:

 

Too right if its not done properly and some poor git is behind you on the motorway when it decides to fall to pieces:scared1:

I'd have to agree with Steve on this one although i appreciate all your comments.I was a fab/welder for 10yrs and used to build/weld gas/petrol road tankers for few yrs of that so i know the ins and out of doing the job but these days i know i have'nt got the time or the right gear to do the job,in the time it would take me to get the same results that they could achieve i could prob earn a good portion of the cost doing a job that im better equiped to do these days.But fair play to the lads who are keen enough to have a go their self

auto lift uk is another worth trying there conversions look really good :001_smile:

 

Wouldn't use auto lift again.

 

In my experience, they lacked a backup service, I took mine back in a week after it was fitted with a damaged back, they all came out to look, gloated at how powerful the ram was (damage caused by a log stuck under the body when it was tipped), laughed between themsleves and said they would get back to me, they never did despite repeated phone calls and pleading.

 

I ended up in desperation having to repair it myself.

 

Now about 4 years on the back is like a rust bucket, the powder coating is rubbish and now it needs another new back.

 

Would not touch Autolift again, my opinion

Ive heard the quality of the Brit tipp job is much better and cheaper too than auto lift,think all the steel work is galv rather than powder coated
