tipper trailer

[Treemover]

Toying with the idea of getting a ifor williams tipper. So after opinions.

 

Not a huge fan, as the drawbar weight seems a great deal higher than a standard trailer (gets me thinking I'll be changing shocks and springs more often)

 

Are the new ifor williams better than the old? some say the quality is poorer?

 

Might just buy a 7.5 ton s/h truck instead?

With twin axle there should be very little drawbar weight if its loaded correctly.

If you can find a good clean old version buy it instead of a new one, the new ones are flimsy rubbish imo.

That or look at the many other makes out there.

[Treemover]

Thats a fair point Marc, I just found putting them on in the past a great deal heavier than any of the livestock or tri axles I own.

Common perception seems to be against new Ifor.

I would go for the competition.I have a Meredith and Eyre , it is a tough old thing that tows well.

Maybe try a brian James trailer. I've just got a 14 ft flatbed from them and the build quality seems better than than Ifor flatbed. Don't know about the tippers but they are worth a look.

Deffo. I would never buy another ifor tipper. Its pants and way behind the likes of brian james.

I have just got the tt 3107 and it's not a good build quality as the tt 105 I did have all the metal work is a lot thiner also the buck on mine look like it is already twisted and I havent even had any thing heavy on it yet so I would say stay clear of ifor williams.

How long have you had it? Will they not fix it under warranty ?

I've got the Brian James tipper 10x5 and would highly recommend it.
