Tipper Trailers For Sale in Australia

About Tipper Semitrailers

Tipper trailers are a type of specialized semitrailer designed to haul debris, building materials, logs, boulders, rough matter, and other payloads that can be hauled and then dumped en masse.

Tipper Trailer Construction & Benefits

Tipper trailers are commonly constructed of steel plate, especially those designed to haul rough materials such as large stones and demolition waste, where durability is a key factor.

However, aluminium alloys are an increasingly attractive material choice for many load types due to their greater corrosion resistance and 10 to 15% lighter weight. This translates directly to bigger payloads, fewer trips, and vastly increased operational efficiency. Aluminium trailers may have a higher initial price tag and generally cost more to repair, but for a variety of job types they are a superior option.

Tipper Trailer Types

There are a wide range of tipper trailer types and they come in a variety of sizes, making them a good option for use on construction, large-scale demolition, energy, and other industrial jobsites. They are most often differentiated by their dump mechanism and may have anywhere from two to as many as six rear axles, depending on their rated payload capacity.

End Tipper Trailers

Much like a tipper truck, an end tipper trailer unloads by extending a hydraulic cylinder beneath the payload in order to tip up the front end to an angle up to 45 degrees, causing loaded material to slide to the rear and exit the trailer through a gate on its end. Of course, an end tipper semitrailer can carry much more material per trip than a standard tipper truck, which makes these trailers a good fit for large-scale material stockpiling in the construction, agriculture, and mining industries, among others.

Side Tipper Trailers

As their name implies, side tipper trailers offload their contents by tipping the entire payload to the left or right along a central pivot point. These trailers are typically semi-cylindrical in shape and use hydraulic cylinders to tilt the payload to one side. Although side tipper operations require a little extra route and placement planning, side tipper trailers can offload their entire, massive payload in as little as 30 seconds and are considerably more stable than end tipper options.
