Converting Navarra to tipper

[Batemans Tree Services]

Didn't know where to post so went here.

 

I have a 2003 Navarra that just failed MOT due to cracked chassis. We are sandblasting and welding back up to hopefully make it last a few more years (Got 2 years left on HP for van and chipper). Was wondering what the logistics would be to converting to tipper for small or off road jobs. Have seen old posts about pro tipper but they seem to be out of business now. 

I have discussed the idea with a few people some positive some negative. My ideas are to put a frame on the chassis and either get a cabstar tipper and build up sides or make one out of parts.

 

Slightly concerned about legal weight. It can take 3.5 tonne payload. Has anyone got any advice at what to avoid or best way to do? Looking forward to hearing your comments.

This was just recently discussed actually.  The protipper is now available in a different guise.  Not overly cheap but probably the simplest solution

Great truck to drive but shite engine, tipper works out well on them.
