Looking for a leaf spring tipping trailer

[charlie batten]

Hi, im looking for a tipping trailer for transporting lengths of timber in. I already have a little one i use for my log round but its on inespension units, which i hate. Been looking at the usual TT85 and TT105. Ill be building a removable chip box for it too so i dont want to get one any bigger than the 105 for getting down driveways. If anyone knows of one for sale thats near (ish) to Manchester/Leeds please let me know. Thanks.

Steve Bullmans trailer is immaculate, if I was after a tipper trailer I'd be buying his [if he hasn't sold it] I don't know anyone who has had as many Ifor Williams trailers as me so I speak with some knowledge, but those Atlas trailers are built every bit as well as an Ifor! looks to me like they use the same rams too

Iv got a TT85 electro tip with cage sides (leaf sprung). I have done exactly the same made up a ply wood chip box that is removable. Only prob is you cant tow the chipper as well as the trailer. The tip is really strong and will easily lift 2 ton of soil, gravel etc no problems. Done bugger all maintenace to it and it is like new. I have found it a very solid trailer. Another thing is its quite heavy unloaded because of the extra steel work. Id save the money and buy a 130 defender tipper personaly but great trailer buy one!

i've had an atlas for 3 or 4 years and love it. cheaper than an ifor and better built in my opinion

Steve Bullmans trailer does look great. If i could afford it and had somewhere to put it where it wouldn't get nicked i'd have it. We've got a TT85 at work and its taken some abuse and it's still going strong. Looking at the price list for Atlas trailers and there reputation when it comes time to replace it it would be an atlas.
