Ford Ranger King Cab Tipper??

[woodland]

I suspect that the defender lovers will attack me for such a question but has anyone fitted a tipper to a ranger before? I know it doesn't have anything like the load capability of the defender but I really don't intend loading it to the gunnels honest i swear can anyone suggest a company to get the tipper built and fitted?

 

cheers

woodland, I've got a navara kingcab and briefly looked into fitting a highsided tipper then realised it would be a total waste of money as the loadspace is pathetically small.

 

If you were still keen then the cheapest way might be worth looking at the kits you can buy for Landies and adapting one of them to fit the Ranger. You'd probably want to buy a scrapped Ranger Kingcab and use it as the test run before you did it for real on your own Ranger. Other than that Ford did produce A singlecab Ranger tipper as did Nissan with the new NP300 work pickup, might find one on the net going at a fair price.

cheers mate, Ive just seen the thread on the load-liner thing looks like a far cheaper option:001_smile:

I have to say that it would be a waste of time on a king or double cab. Better off with a chip truck or a trailer i think.

Ford still make the tipper, the last new one I saw for sale was priced at 16k plus vat

i used to have a photo of a previous generation ranger supercab tipper too. cant find it at the moment though

If you want a tipper making and cannot find one off the shelf - why don't you go to a local Ag Engineer with your requirements. I did just that with two or three trucks that I had after getting seriously fed up with the standard of workmanship etc as supplied by the local bodybuilders who built down to a price for the local Transit suppliers!

 

The ram/scissor/pump assembly is a kit, the rest is just blacksmithery. Mine cost slightly more but the quality was awesome and they built what I asked for and not what they thought they could get away with.

That truck would be a disaster full of wet logs. Look at the overhang at the back . when we had our hilux converted the bodybuilder new there was a technical limit for the overhang and advised not to go past it. In one of the pictures it actually looks like he has a trailer on the back.
