What is a Tipper & How Can It Help You?

Tippers are heavy-duty vehicles with an open skip that allows them to carry and tip heavy materials, even when other machinery may fail. They do a great job of getting to and from construction sites. It doesn’t matter if the construction site is off road or in an inconvenient location, a tipper can contend with the journey and deliver or remove materials accordingly. As tippers are expensive to buy outright, we offer tipper hire at Tiger Plant.

Here’s What You Need to Know About Tipper Hire

A tipper can be used for a range of purposes, which is why tipper hire is so popular. For example, a tipper can be used to transport a variety of materials including sand, gravel, and waste. You can also use a tipper to carry rock, soil, aggregate and bulk materials. You may even use a tipper for smaller tasks, such as landscaping a garden or removing rubble for a small area of land. Whether you are going to or from a construction site, a tipper is a fantastic choice for construction projects of any size.

There is no denying the benefits of having a tipper on hand to help with your construction project. Whether you are using it for muck away or soil delivery, a tipper is the ideal piece of machinery. However, they are expensive to buy and not a viable purchase for many projects. At Tiger Plant, our tipper is able to carry close to 20 tonnes of material. This means you can hire the tipper for a range of projects, varying in size and for multiple projects.

The Benefits of Tipper Hire for Your Project

When it comes to equipping your construction project with the right tools, the decision between hiring a tipper and purchasing one outright is crucial. Here's why opting for tipper hire can be a game-changer for your project:

Cost savings: acquiring a brand-new tipper can be a substantial investment. By choosing tipper hire, you bypass the upfront costs and ongoing expenses associated with ownership. This means more of your project budget can be allocated towards other essential aspects, enhancing overall financial efficiency.

Unmatched flexibility: construction projects vary in scale and scope, and so do the demands for equipment. With tipper hire, you have the flexibility to select the right type and size of tipper for each unique phase of your project. This adaptability ensures you always have the optimal equipment on hand without the long-term commitment.

Specialised equipment for niche tasks: not every project requires the same type of tipper. With tipper hire, you gain access to a diverse fleet of tippers, each designed to excel in specific applications. Whether it's transporting heavy materials, muck away services, or niche tasks, you can select the perfect tool for the job.

Maintenance: owning a tipper means assuming responsibility for maintenance, repairs, and upkeep. With tipper hire, these concerns are shouldered by the hiring company. This frees up your team to focus on what they do best— advancing your construction project.

Tipping Skips for Forklifts & Telehandlers

We have a range of tipping skips to suit forklifts and telehandlers. These are ideal solutions to help keep site clean and tidy and can easily be transported and located around site and emptied into larger site skips.

The Eichinger tipping skip leads the way in health and safety, as each unit is supplied with a fixed heel pin and “tear-drop” safety catch to ensure the skip doesn’t discharge during transit. Find out more, here.
