Tipping trailer 2014 8x5

[jnoon]

Hi chaps,

after a new tipping trailer 8x5 with high sides would be ideal, uses are chip & logs.

 

If I go for the ifor type sides I can clad galv sheeting to make the sides smooth and a little better for keeping the chip on the trailer.

 

Idea being trailer can go behind mates truck on big jobs saving the back of hilux for tools signs etc

 

Question is which brand is the best, ?

local ifor dealer quoted me £3500 plus vat I think will double check

Any other makes up to the job, dad has graham Edwards 10x6 lovely trailer but non tipper

Thanks

I have a new ifor Williams 8x4 tipper, I think it is the worst piece of kit I have purchased, I have spent an extra £500 getting it fit for purpose and have had some of the worst customer service from them, my advise is buy an older second hand ifor as I have had no trouble with the older designs or go else where

I've just got a brian James tipper and so far is the best trailer I've had. Doesn't rattle like ifor and tows great.

Josh, perhaps bigger than you considered but you could get an Atlas tipper 10x5 for less money than your dealer has quoted you. They seem to get good reviews and have many features for the price.

Just a thought....

Could you elaborate on why the trailer is not good? Cheers

Ifor build quality has gone seriously down hill

I've got an Indespension 8x5 tipper with mesh sides, it's ace, tows great and can get in pretty much anywhere,

The ifor 8 by 5 is only 2.7 ton gross, but the next size up is 3.5 ton, something else to think about?

What was wrong? What did you have to rectify?

That's the one my old man had graham Edwards seems to be same as atlas 10 x 5/6

like the idea of slightly smaller but better for firewood deliveries
