Arb tipper advice

[Derakhte Mazda]

Dear All,

 

i currently own a panelled 2014 ve transporter. I live driving it but i need aan arb tipper. If possible i would like a vw arb tipper or conversion. Does anyone have experience of them and are they any good. I have been told from one source that they struggle with heavy loads, is this so?

 

other than a transit what would you recommend? Image is important to me so i would like a performer and a looker.

 

thanks in advance,

VW's struggle with weight.  Some don't even have 3.5 tonne GVW so your payload is minimal.  Transit are now expensive and the turning circle is poor.  We have Isuzu Grafters and are now looking at an Isuzu 7.5 tonner.  The Grafter is a basic vehicle but  with a good solid 3 litre engine and a 7 tonne Gross Train Weight so you can drag big chippers and MEWP's that a Transit can't.

The VW tippers are not great. I have a cabstar which is great, 3ltr motor and plenty of room for chip

Thanks, can the grafter be driven with a normal full driving license?

What about a crafter tipper? I've driven the panel Van crafter 3.5 ton and it's a great big van, basically a vw badged sprinter I think?

Anyone seen the new man truck?  I believe it’s also on the crafter chassis
