tipping body for ford ranger 2007 twin cab needed who to use?

[mitchel]

Im trying to find out rough cost for a tipper body for 2007 ford ranger twin cab doesn’t need a locker just chip body probably a foot higher than cab ideally with a chip hood if not to much otherwise a heavy duty tarp than can be tied to make a roof. 

 

Don’t mind if its cheaper to make with Grp sides rather than Ali sides.

I used a Link alloy tipper off a cabstar, easy to cut n fit on to my Series II, then altered alloy planks. Check yr local scrap yards. K

Thought about doing this with my old 07 twin cab ranger but wasnt sure it would be a worthwhile load capacity? How do you find it 5 shires?

It’s fine can get quite a good load in there but obviously not as much as a transit tipper etc but if I know I need more capacity on bigger jobs I either allow for a couple of load drops at a convenient tip site or on bigger jobs I always get more lads with there Trucks...but my ranger suits my needs 95% of the time and I will always have a 4x4 tipper anyway it’s just my preference.

Exactly that who made it for you? any idea on price?

I had it done 6/7 years ago now but it was around 4K.....kept it simple to keep cost down such as not having double barn doors and no chip shield...not having both hasn’t ever been an issue....I will be changing it at the end of the year...she has done me well and is on 225k and went through recent MOT with just a number plate bulb needed.
