Transit tipper good price?

[chris23a]

I thought it was a bit pricey compared to similar models i saw on autotrader but it does have factory fitted alloy sides, does anyone know roughly how much they would cost if i was to buy a standard tipper and get them fitted after?

I'm pretty sure there is no such thing mate.

 

You could get very nice ali sides supplied and fitted for less than £500.

Really? the dealer told me they were factory fitted.

I,ve looked at this one on their website and also a crew cab they have also. They do always seem a bit pricey at Bridge but then again they,re local and you'd get a bit of warranty if something went wrong. I reckon you'd pick up a similar tipper without the high sides for £1.5+K cheaper in England. What put me of this one was the sides don't fold down so if you were using it for general work and not chipping - you'd have to load everything in the back door.

Desmond the Ford dealer in L,derry had one last year identical for £9500 with the alu sides and tool locker.

 

There was also a dealer in Newry that had a few Transit tippers and crewcabs for sale last month - it was in Autotrader also.

 

I,m on the look out for a clean crew cab or standard tipper with a "One Stop" alu normal sides and then we'll fit "greedy boards" that are detachable.

Hi Gareth, you know anywhere in NI that makes alu sides?

Houston Coach Works (Norman is excellent) or Banbridge Coach works. They make professional commercial vehicle bodies and assessories. Chris at Total Van Solutions might have a go also. The other option is a smaller engineering company and some Alu composite panels. It shouldn't be an expensive job £500 tops for a decent two side panels. For the front panel its just a matter of cutting a bit to infill the ladder rake.

 

I see you were looking for a CS100 trailer. I,ve a mate who just puts his Jo-beau onto a standard ramp back cage trailer and chips into blue chemical drums. Great for smaller jobs and the trailer is more versitile. We.ve a little 8x5 single axle cage trailer with cage sides and ramp tail door which cost around £1k from indespension.

 

Get yourself a big chipper for behind that new tipper and your micro chipper days will be a thing of the past:001_smile:
