Caged Tippers

Posted by Gary RK on March 15, 2013 at 6:04pm in Vehicles

Asking for some advice from those who have Cages on their Tippers...

What is the "base" vehicle & make of cage?

What is the size of your cage (height)?

Was the cage already installed? , if not who did it for you ?

Any pros & cons of your particular configuration ?

Are Steel or Ali sides better on tipper bed ?

You can probably guess that I am out looking for one :-)

    Gary have you hired one to see if they suit you.

    I did just that last year, from Parkhurst. West Molesey way. Not that many available for hire.

    Just an idea, have a look at some Vehicle Auction Sites, my local Council Wealden use Iveco and Brighton Council use Transit caged tippers, you might get some ideas from the pictures.

    Thanks Gary this conversation is one I have wondered for a while!!
    I am in the same predicament and would also like to buy a cage.
    But be careful on the type of cage though Gary as they tend to weigh a lot and can make the van close to its legal limit without any waste on.
    I'm thinking on having some ply fitted to the side of the van and having the ply treated and sign written so it doesn't look so tatty.

    Useful. Ta.

    No Van hire company round our way have any caged tippers on their fleets - just normal cabstars, transits etc.

    I'm being 'pressured' into getting a Cabstar or similar with a gated cage on top as next vehicle ;-)
