Show me your tipper trailer with high sides!

[marne]

The rear support legs are needed when loading heavy machinery. You can load a machine with aprox 500-600kg on this eduard untowed, then the front axle rises. I had to drive 2tons up the ramps, thats why I mounted the legs, otherswise too much stress for the towing hook and the trailer's rear axle.

The cables rotted twice and where replaced with stainless ones for maritime usage the last time, can't remember how much.

How well does a 3 way tipper work on a trailer? With it being quite low doesn't all the chip get inder the wheels and make it a sod to pull away from?

Have 2 piece sides, bottom small sides fold downwards so wheels don’t fill up with crap.

We use this alongside a transit tipper for the bigger jobs, just a pain trying to park 2 vehicles, chipper & trailer on your average domestic job though.

Mesh sides/Ali sheeting.

I've the same trailer, just imported it. It's my third tipper with alloy sides.

The first being stolen, the second auctioned off when my ltd company closed.

It actually sold for more than it cost us after 3 years.

 Hopefully the third one might hang around a while longer.

The mesh is being cut off and 3mm alloy riveted on. 

Cleaner look though I admit less robust.

It will be sign written too.

I can count on the fingers of one hand when I’ve used it for chip, almost always for logs or moving loader/grinder.

 

Mine’s a bit battered now after nearly 5 years, still all functional though.

[Ty Korrigan]

Yes, multi-function, chip, wood and machines.

On larger conifer jobs the extra chip capacity is a great advantage tipping time wise.

In retrospect, we panicked a little over importing before Brexit (unknown tariffs) and rushed into buying this trailer from stock. 

I could have waited and ordered one with alloy sides and saved some serious €€€.

It looks smarter than the chequerplate from the factory though IMO.
