The evolution of my arb truck

[Ian C]

It doesn't tip? Hellfire you make things hard! Or is that the next evolution?

 

Nice truck but hell no tipping, couldn't cope with that.

 

How does the pipe extension work ? does it ever block up ?

Got it from a dealer at morpeth.

Only 15000 mile on the clock fully serviced and reddy to role.

Well after plenty of this, I started looking at options

1) put tipping gear under the existing body and use as is for now

2) get an old transit back from a scrapper and graft it on and fettel up some sides

3) get a whole custom made chippbox and tipper made

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahh sod it its only money (new bathroom fund) so new chippbox it is!

When unloading at your tip site park your truck on a pile of chip ( the front end ) makes life a lot easier to fork out

The pipe is very simple and just slides over the normal spout and is hung on the frame at the truck end so no chip escapes, only blocked up once with connifer, lots of green and a very wet day.

That one had no winch on which is worth over a grand as thats what one just sold for and did not include the tipper, that was an optional extra and looked like a dump truck and all steel so would have killed the load capacity.

Did that with the landy

then realised i could not shut tailgate and could not get very far forward so was stuck took longer to dig it out than empty the chip and it was persisting it down and dark when finished, not happy that night!!

I would have thought fitting an old transit tipping unit would be simpler and cheaper.

 

Not as hard as you might think we fitted 2 small rams off a stump puller and put them behind a plate and they had enough power to push the chip out
