Why Use Mini Tipper Trucks?

Mini Tipper Trucks Are Essential To Your Construction Site

A standard tipper truck consists of a chassis with a dump body mounted to the frame of the vehicle. The open-box bed is hinged to the back of the truck and is operated by a hydraulic ram which lifts the box to tip the materials. A standard tipper truck is typically used for transporting loose materials such as rocks, gravel and sand around building sites during dry weather conditions and are licensed to transport materials on public roads. Unlike mini tipper trucks, they are generally limited to operating during dry conditions on civil construction sites. Mini tipper trucks or otherwise referred to as site dumpers can operate on site during all weather conditions and can reduce overall project delays and timeframes due to their ability to continue to operate during wet weather and soft ground conditions.

The mini tipper trucks are extremely compact in design and generally operate off a constant all drive 4×4 system. This makes them very versatile on all terrains and capable of reaching those hard to get to places on a construction site. They work well in wet and dry weather and reduce environmental degradation by a considerable amount compared to the other larger site dumpers. They also provide 360 degree peripheral vision for the driver and special traction floatation tyres that help the vehicle manoeuvre in all directions and in all types of ground conditions. Some other benefits of these vehicles include fully OHS compliant, certified and engineered Roll Over Protection and Fall Over Protection Structures, battery isolation switches, E-Stops, safety belts and their general ability to move efficiently around the site being capable of speeds of up to 30 km/hr.

Another great feature of these vehicles is that they are fully customisable and can be modified to suit the specific project requirements and more importantly the local site conditions. Everyone in the construction business knows the harsh weather conditions that the Australian climate can throw at you. Sydney in particular, being a coastal city is subject to some very harsh fluctuations in temperature. The added rain, baking hot sun, cold and warm spikes, make Sydney a very difficult place to work. There is the option of installing custom clear waterproof storm covers to ensure the drivers not only stay dry but also maintain full peripheral unobstructed vision on all sides of the machine. More permanent all weather air conditioned cabins can also be sourced for the site dumpers upon client’s request.

Mini tipper trucks are generally suited to most types of construction projects, whether it’s just for removing excavated materials or for backfilling and site regrading activities. There is no job too large or small, and can even be used effectively when building a new driveway, swimming pool or extension. There are no specific licence requirements other than a standard unrestricted car driver’s licence.

They are easy to use, durable and an asset in any remediation, civil, demolition or construction project, especially in variable weather conditions likely to be experienced around the Sydney region.
