Tipper back

[jjll]

Hi,

I had a brief look for threads but couldn't find what I was looking for,

I have an ally tipper bed with caged sides and want to board the sides up for signage to stop the chip flying through the mesh.

Is it grp board that is used for board?

Also looking at ally sheeting to bolt or rivet to it but I'm aware it will cost a lot more.

Can anyone recommend somewhere for both in the midlands? I'm in gloucestershire

I would preferably want it to be a full sheet to cover the entire side.

 

Thanks for any help

Try

 

Service Metals Group-Europes leading Aluminium and steel profiles supplier

 

Service metals are the people to speak to about commercial vehicle bodies

 

Consider also "amaribond" its an aluminium composite board that will fix nicely to your wire cages. Its light and cheap.

Thanks,

I spoke to service metals and they said it would be a good idea to line the inside of the cage with ally to stop chip and whatever else damaging the grp board and make it last longer.

If I'm lining the board with ally plate, is there anything in a plastic sheeting that would do the same job, and cost less?

The outside board, if protected by the ally plate would only really need to look good and be sign written.

Has anyone else used any other types of plastic/PVC/foam board to line the outside do a tipper back?

I am thinking this as it would reduce the weight? And possibly the cost??

 

Cheers again for the replies,

Try stock board its recycled plastic in 8x4 a bit like ply

That's probably overkill, and would be expensive. GRP and even regular ply puts up with chip well enough

I find stock board really heavy and it goes out of shape and losses strength in the sun. I like the phenolic board they use on trailer floors.
