I'd steer clear of them mate. Have worked for 2 companies that run Transits as tipper trucks and they are more trouble than they are worth. One was an 04 and the other a 01 and neither of them have nearly enough power. They are good for a light chipper or half a fill of chip, definitely not both. Any more and the first hill you meet is a new clutch.

 

I would disagree with that, although the 90 PS is a bit sluggish. You won't get nicked for speeding, that's for sure!

 

Downside of a crew cab is a limited legal load capacity weight-wise (sub 1 tonne), but the volume they can handle is excellent.

 

Tipper wise, avoid the scissor type ram, make sure it has a straight telescopic ram.

 

Where in the country are you Egs?
