I dont know how you can mull stuff over for so long John.

 

If i want something i do some research yes and have a good think, but the more i think and the more stuff i look at it fries my brain and you find yourself overlooking at things.

 

Pick something, buy it and be happy

Interesting points regarding the tri axle trailers Jon so don't discount them. Oil be buying a tipper trailer next year and will try and pick up an older ifor 10' X 5'6'' as they are well proven compared to the newer ifor models, if not oil buy a Brian James.

I bought the 3 way 3.5 ton caged tipper at the bottom of the page. Best trailer I've owned. I'd go so far as to say the best purchase I've ever made also. 

 

Only owned it 1 year but so far no problems at all. Takes a beating day in day out. Better than my previous Ifor and cheaper for what you get also.

how often do you use the 3 way tip? Whats it like fully loaded?

I use it all the time. Takes about 1 minute to alter the tipping function. I have cages on it and if I have green I tip to the right as it suits the layout of my local recycling centre and also reduces it getting stuck if it's packed in tight cos of the cage. 

 

Tips absolutely perfectly at full capacity. If I'm loading with dirt though I always barrow 1 ft away from the front end and pile it up more middle in case it wont fully tip if occidentally go over weight. However, if that ever happened you could go side tip to shift weight off it and then rear tip or various options. 

 

3 way tip was always just a potential convenience to me but has turned out to be used all the time in various ways. 

 

Solid bit of kit too. Some prick lowered my jockey wheel in the night one day and I drove 7 miles with it full down and it only bent ever so slightly.

sounds decent, I been looking at the deben and similar in germany. i see the atlas tippers have the same 3 way.

Thanks

Have any of you guys tried the atlas tippers? I like the look of the Brian James but atlas is round the corner from me
