Trying to get some ideas for tool storage for a 7.5t tipper, don't wanna start cutting to body down for a tool locker sounderbody is the only other way I can think of.

Under body is a great option. Seen it done a couple times on 3.5t trucks. Someone must have some pics somewhere

Bit buggered with bigger trucks as diesel tanks & batteries take up room under the body

iv done in the past will see if i can find pics, biggest prob is getting a bkpk blower in rther

Were not that posh with blower, only have a small 1

 

Thought about putting a box inside the tipping body and access it through drop down sides but again end up loosing chip space.

Has anyone used space between chassis rails before, raise the body to get access and tool would be safe but the down side would it be safe get things out of raised body.

As I recall the handbrake cables would need re routing on a transit.

There is enough space between the chassis rails and tipper body for a tray, good for brooms, rakes and shovels.

 

 

On one of our transits there was enough room between the tipper body and cab to hang shovels, rakes and brooms on a small bracket. The body also has a locker with doors each side running through the tipper body, enough room in there for saws, blowers and the rest of the kit. Easier than cutting a body down and less wasted space.
