Transit tipper 4x4

[wicklamulla]

I saw a merc sprinter van cherry picker at the weekend which was 4x4 the large one with dual wheels on back if they make that in a tipper would be on hell of a truck maybe.

 

 

 

yep they did a few tippers based on that heavy duty chassis but they are 4.2 ton so you'd need an operators ticket, tacho etc.

I was told the other day that ford do a 4x4 transit tipper. I can't seem to find anything on a tipper only a van.

Do they exist? And if so are they any good.

Inherently all 3500kg tippers are limited by thier low payload.

 

When you add the 4x4 running gear the payload becomes practically none existent if you want to use it (legally) on the road.

Why don't you just buy a normal 4x4 pickup and fit a protipper to it,roughly carries the same weight ish!!

What 5 ton??

 

The 4x4 transits of old were more about a service truck for the utilities than a serious weight carrying truck.

We already run a 110 tipper and 2 90's.

Need to get a van as well, but although I'm guessing it wouldn't be as good as a Landy off-road I was thinking if it could still be awd then it makes it a little more useable for different situations.

Ford still make a Transit 4x4 with tipping back in Turkey! However the unladen weight is high so payload low.

There are a few odd things about - https://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=61257 - unladen weight 2920kg though!

I've owned two in the past. The first was a mk2 tipper, it was a petrol with a Luton body from the NRA, converted to 4x4 by Newton Abbot motors. I put a d plate di in it and a tipper, had it 5 yrs and it never broke down, pulled like a train (it was nick named the Dogs Bollox by mates and 13yrs later I still regret selling it. The next was a '94 county lwb van ex national grid, totally different beast but still very good, main fault on these: no difflock! Ford never made a 4x4 transit, they were designed by Eric May who bought the 'county' badge (and was a county tractor engineer previously) and were later called Countytrac when bought out by Michael Allen Group in Ashford Kent (along with Eric) who designed the crappy all wheel drive ones for Ford so (sadly) stopped doing their own. Reynolds Boughton did a few as well.
