Don’t think anyone makes them anymore

Have a word with a local haulage repair place that runs arctic tip trailers, see if they have any old teflon body liners/ sheets knocking about, to them they will be knackered/thin, to you they’ll last you ages if not forever, cut to your specs and fit em yaself.

Any good fabricator should be able to knock something up. 

Where are you based.

I’ve recently bought a pro tipper unit and was thinking of exploring if there’s much interest in these or a similar unit to be produced to order.

2 people have tried and failed already. Take from that what you will. Maybe it was down to marketing, or maybe it just wasn’t in big enough demand

Would be more a case of making them as and when rather than as a full time business. Although I do realise it’s probably a pretty limited demand

I think demand was not that stumbling block, variation of design and component cost now could be though. 4 plus years back, we were buying 30+ tonnes of sheet steel per month at £350 per tonne. Now, we are paying some £1,200! There is a price which folk will pay for stuff and a price which is too much! That and the often daft regulations that we have to build stuff to, like ensuring people cannot intentionally or unintentionally hurt themselves adds cost yet reduces usability of the product - think nip and pinch or crush points etc.
