What to line a chip box with

[redmoosefaction]

depends on the ali. did you use planlink or ali sheets? ali sheets will dent in n time and look tatty as anything

 

It is ali sheeting, that's why I want to line with something light to protect it, as the old vermeer chucks chip out at a serious rate.

 

Ply or steel or is grp strong? On my old boxes which were made from marine ply (Yes they weighed a ton-literally) I would double the thickness at the strike area then replace when that bit wore out.

grp is what tipmaster use, its plenty strong....but like i said, if you're using grp you could have saved yourself the expense of the ali surely

If it is on the inside, I would just use 6 or 9mm exterior ply.

GRP is heay stuff and expensive as well.

Used Al sheet on mine and lined with 3/8 beech (waterproof and cheaper than marine) ply. Light enough and strong.

Can anyone help me with the name for the aluminium that comes in sort of linkable box section that I often see used for truck sides, I think steve referred to it earlier as 'planlink' but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Is there another common name for it?

[not for sale sorry]

i need to do my truck as well

Nothing! When you try to tip it all hangs on wooden liners (Dont know about GRP). Everything slides better on metal. Which is why you put wood battens under a load to strap it down.

Ahh, that's just what I wanted to know.

 

I'm doing thin ply at the sides (which I tried to glue, but will reinforce with rivets) and 18mm as the firing board.

 

Will take photos and post... just for a laugh, of course.

 

Can someone tell me how to whack photies on here. Cheers
