Introducing the new Pro Tipper

[Peter]

Hopefully yes, cheers for the offer!

That's a fantastic piece of equipment, big respect. I will share on Facebook!

Have you thought about building them in ali to save a bit of weight / increase the payload? Presumably make them quite a bit more expensive?

[Peter]

Yes, its an option we have considered. Ally would save about 50% of the weight over steel, but costs nearly double. The bare steel version only weighs about 150kg, so for doubling the cost you only save about 75kg.

 

It is something I will persue when I have time, just for the bling factor!

[WorcsWuss]

Pobably not really worth it then in real terms... Would look smart though.... How about aluminium sheeting riveted onto a hot dip galv'd frame. Would be a way round the distortion issue and get you a bit of bling.

Another alternative would be powder coating in the body colour of the vehicle it's going into, that would be slick....

 

You can have those for free!

Have you fitted any in a l200 warrior yet? By the way, nice invention.

[Peter]

Not done an L200 yet, but since Mitsubishi hold nearly 50% of the market its only a matter of time.

[Rupe]

I might accidentally have to go and buy a Navara now, but I will try and wait until the subaru dies which will of course be never!!

[Peter]

Cut the roof off the Subaru and I'll build you a tipper for that.

[Rupe]

Your tipper conversions cost as much as I have ever paid for a subaru, it would treble its value!!

Filling the fuel tank would do that, Rupe
