I dont think you can legally build your own tipper anymore. It all has to be type approved and be signed off by vosa, or your insurance will be null and void

 

 

Think that only stands on new builds ! As it's already a tipper a change to the tipping body doesn't affect the type of truck it's still a tipper if you were to fit a cherry picker or chipper you would need to have it tested as it is no longer a tipper as registered on the v5

What he said

 

Fitting a greedy box isn't going to be a problem and, providing you did your job properly SVA isn't a problem either.

You can take a modified vehicle for IVA and get it registered as a change of body type. The test is not as strict for commercial vehicles as for domestic passenger vehicles.

that makes sense, although i did have to inform my insurance company when i removed the rear seats from the truck, to convert it for tool storage!
