The centre panel, between the two reinforces, already resonates a bit! We are looking in ot improving that.

Yup. Bought the two as a deal, 2800w 9" with soft start, and a 1400w 4 inch, cost £38 for the two 8 years ago, both still going with not even a blown fuse, and in that time they've done some pretty hard work.

Just sat and worked out weights on paper of aluminium planking and Plygloss body panels.

 

Taking my landrover and leaving the existing tipper bed on.

 

To put new sides, front and roof all the way to the back 2.6m long x 1.8m wide x 1.6m High in:

 

Aluminium plank = 221.68 kg plus corner angle and rivets.

Plygloss = 233.74 kg plus corner profile, cant rail and rivets

 

On top of that you would have a small steel frame and tail gate at the back to add on

Whats Plygloss?

[Arborist]

Whats Plygloss?

 

Think its the stuff tipmasters use on the sides of there bodies, gelcote bonded on to ply.

Boulter Tippers - for new build, frames, repair and servicing of all types of tipper body

 

The body on the transit in the pic was £3500 inc tipping gear. Not sure how much the defender body is but i guess about the same.
