Tipmaster Body

[Barney]

Cheers guys these figures are about what I expected.

 

Steve - Is it the tool box that makes it heavy giving it only 500kg playload?

[Steve Bullman]

well i checked today, he paid 7.5k, that was with ram and everything.

 

im guessing that figure of 500kg payload btw. my ldv carries 1500kg and all i have is 2 and a half planks on the side, no chip body. 500kg was probably a bit of an exageration, but its not much more...plus factor in that more of the weight will be over the rear axles due to the tool box

Years ago, I used to buy in tipper bodies for about 2K off the peg. A bespoke alloy job with lockers cost 3.5K. Brit Tip can be well equipped but you pay big style.

 

A couple were a while in production too If I remeber Pete, though they were worth waiting for!

I can see how playload won't be much more than that with a 3.5t truck. I've no intention of getting a tip master body, just thinking into the future when (if) I ever have my own business (dreaming)

Just found the Brit tipp website, looks good and light weight.

How much do you think the company would quote to build this?

 

Tipmaster

 

10K for a body like that on a 7.5 ton truck, I know the owners of Tipmaster, they built me a body several years ago, they are expensive, but they do a great job, me I have a couple of men who build bodies for me, much , much , much cheaper!

I also do work for a guy who has a 7.5 iveco with tool box and sides barn doors the lot cost him 5 k from tip master.

 

 

That must have been built a very very long time ago, I know for a fact they are 10k now...

Why are you dreamers so concerned about a body you'll never charge enough to ever afford, imo it would be far better if you spent your time investigating plywood prices.. heres a pic of the stamp of your adverage tree surgeons truck
