Recommendations for arb body installations around Hertfordshire

[CampbellsArb]

Hi all, getting my first tipper in the coming days and looking for recommendations for arb body installs. Was going to do a marine ply job to keep it cheap for the getgo but getting talked out of doing that now. Any info/recommendations regarding aluminum boxes as well as wooden marine ply would be much appreciated. TIA

Getting a purpose built body will cost you 5-10k.

 

Can you weld? if so a DIY option could be aluminium planks, chequer plate sheet or GRP bolted onto a steel frame. all look smarter than ply, and will last longer

Personally if you're starting then I'd go marine ply but make sure you give it a good soaking in green fence paint - makes it a lot smarter and also last longer. There are doubtless other things you should spend the extra money on to make jobs more efficient, Vs a custom body.

As above comments, it'll be far cheaper to get an aluminium frame built and bolted to the tipper bed, then faced with ply/thin sheet steel
