Tipper trailer

WOW, my heart just missed a few beats when I saw the price of a new Ifor Williams tipper.

I've borrowed a friends a few times but I know if I have my own I'll use it far more than I do his.

does anyone have any other manufacturer recommendations for such a trailer which would hopefully be less than £4250! I only paid £3000 for my van and it's done a lot more than a trailer ever would in the last 6 years lol

Thanks folks

  • what size do you want do you require mesh sides what load cappasity what load can you tow with your van 

    have you looked arround for 2nd hand i know the prices have stayed strong same as vans have 

    i have just sold my indespension 10x6 non tipper i virtually got what i paid for it second hand 10 years ago they are good trailers 

     

    • 2800kg max plate, not bothered about mesh sides.

      minimum 8' bed length I would think

  • 4250 is a lot of money but still probably cheap in today's market you would probably give the guys of 3 grand for something small and second hand the way things are!

    Four years ago I was looking on EBay for a “nice little trailer” and ended up buying a Daihatsu Hijet pickup aka a Piaggio Porter which I still have in addition to my van, much to the amusement of family and friends.

    Have you considered non tipping. The tippers are quite a bit more than the flatbeds. I've got Ifor 8x5 flatbed. Built my own sides from marine ply that don't rattle or catch things like mesh sides and remove just as quick. Load cover made up for over top to keep things dry. No tipper not really a problem. Some things take a bit longer to unload but fine for me. Load bed is lower than tipper whch is perfect height for shovelling/dragging things off. Mine is 2000kg as thats all my van will tow but still takes a tonne plus as trailer is approx 600kg inc ramps. I use it nearly everyday. Takes approx 1 tonne green waste fully loaded up to top of ply sides, building materials , long lengths of timber up to 4.8metres, motorbikes, playhouses, fencing, anything really. Great tool, super versatile and well worth the money i paid for it new. I wouldn't be without it and dont think i would pay the extra now for a tipper.
