TIPPER TRUCKS
Explore our diverse inventory of second-hand 7.5-ton tipper trucks for sale, ranging from 7.5 tonne tipper lorries to versatile 7.5 ton grab lorries. Our selection also includes small tipper trucks suitable for various applications.
Tipper trucks, also known as dump trucks, play a crucial role in the commercial trucking industry. They are extensively used in construction, mining, and transportation, facilitating the transport and unloading of materials like sand, gravel, rocks, and construction debris.
Our offerings feature a variety of configurations, from 7.5 tonne vehicles to larger 32-tonne GVW models. These trucks undergo rigorous inspections, ensuring their reliability and performance. Whether you need a 7.5 ton tipper truck or a specialised 7.5 ton grab lorry, we have a wide range to meet your specific requirements.
Tipper trucks are equipped with hydraulic lifting systems that enable efficient cargo unloading at construction sites or waste disposal locations. The tipping mechanism can be activated through a control lever inside the truck cab or remotely, providing flexibility in operation.
HOW MUCH CAN A TIPPER TRUCK CARRY?
They can carry a maximum capacity of around 44 tonnes, but many models are designed for lighter work with a gross vehicle weight of 7.5 tonnes. There are smaller trucks with fourteen or sixteen-tonne capacities as well. The vehicle’s total weight affects the number of wheels, which means you will find four, six, and eight-wheeled trucks.
All tipper trucks are three meters wide, so as the weight and capacity go up, the length of the truck increases. Typically the axle and wheel configurations provide:
- Four wheels – up to 24.5 tonnes with a truck length of 7.6m
- Six wheels – up to 26 tonnes with a truck length of 7.6m
- Eight wheels – up to 32 tonnes with a truck length of 9.8m
- Articulated – up to 44 tonnes with a truck length of 14.2m
DIFFERENT TYPES & SIZES
Small or residential-centric jobs can often be handled by a less than 12 tonnes truck with a bogie drive. The next move up from these is a truck and dog tipper. These are easy to manoeuvre around a worksite, making them suitable for small projects where a large delivery volume and high material turnover are unnecessary.
Semi-trucks are manufactured up to 19 metres long with a larger capacity. However, the gain in capacity is at the sacrifice of maneuverability, meaning these are suitable for open sites such as large quarries and construction sites.
Road trains and b doubles are popular and used on significant worksites and projects, saving costs by reducing the number of trips required. Road crews have access to specialised insulated trucks for delivering hot tarmac during renovation and repair works.
