Plus all the weight is put over or behind the rear axel.

 

how do you work that out? if you had sides on and loaded with a chipper(as most on here would do) most of the weight is at the front of the tipper body e.g well in front of the rear axel. I put my one over the council weigh bridge (they have the type where you put your front wheels on then your rear wheels on and add the 2 up) and it wasn't much off of 50/50

I'll never buy another crew cab too heavy

 

everyones needs are different! I couldn't have a van without safe tool storage and I carry a lot of tools! the pay load difference depending on what one it is if fitted with like for like backs is only about 300kg and if you have to fit a van vault then most of that is taken up by the vault. I like to just put my tools in the back and know there is a good chance they will still be there when I get back plus its much easyer to just lock the van when your not near it than it is to lock tool storage

I needed a tipper with room for three guys, two dogs, a full suite of saws, trimmers, blowers, climbing / rigging kits etc.. and had a budget of 2k. found a transit 2.5di engined LDV convoy with 12mths test and six new tyres. all the cab space i need and an 8ft tipping body. It rarely carries much weight as we take the landy tipper with us on most jobs.
