tipper for logs

[tomm156]

evening all.

 

I know this has been done to death but I am still unsure. we run a smallish firewood company and we have decided rather than use the hilux and tipper trailer we would be better off with a dedicated tipper for deliveries. been looking at isuzu but don't think I would get used to the weird gear pattern so have moved onto transits. any other suggestions would be ideal. budget is about 10k maby slightly more and it's only job will be logs. also does anyone know how much volume the back of a standard transit will hold.

 

thanks in advance

I used to put two tattie boxesworth on the back of a standard tranny, 3.4 cubic metres. That was a heaped load. 

 

Tranny is abit wide in my opinion

Hi I have used a Nissan cabstar for last 9 yrs and can't fault it, its the old 3 ltr  one pulls like a train no matter how much weight I put on it, very good in tight spaces, fairly good on fuel, body is 10x6 ft and put 3 cube on it which is a slightly heaped load.
