3 Reasons Why You Need A Transit Tipper

A tipper van utilises an open body to carry equipment and loads, rather than being contained inside a van completely. This allows the loads to be easily dumped out or unloaded by tipping the vehicle body. Equipment and loads can even be picked up by a forklift directly from the van if they are too heavy to be moved by individuals.

Vanaways has put together a guide on why Ford Transit Tippers are a great choice for a business.

Large Capacity

A Ford Transit Tipper has a large capacity compared to other types of vans, due to it being a large, normally rectangular area that is unaffected by things other vans are affected by.

Other types of vans have to worry about the vehicle design being optimised for driving, which can make the capacity smaller. You can also get tippers in a range of sizes, so you can find the perfect option for you.

Tip With Ease

A Transit Tipper is great for the speed and ease with which you can unload and load it. They’re great if you’re carrying loose materials like sand or gravel. You can simply park the Transit Tipper in the desired location and tip the material out exactly where you want it.

Apart from this, you can also fill the tipper space with whatever you want and unload with ease. A worker can jump up into the tipper space to help with load and unload, without being restricted by height which will happen in a typical van.

Plus as the tipping does not involve human effort, you can carry heavy loads and tip them out with the van doing all the work. It’s also very manoeuvrable when carrying large loads, which can be next to impossible for a worker alone to do.

Cost-Effective

As the tipper can unload a large number of resources by itself, it is much more cost-effective than buying smaller vans and more staff. One tipper moving resources across the site is a lot cheaper than hiring several people to lift and carry resources.

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."

"We cannot fault the service we have received from everyone we have dealt with at Vanaways and will definitely by contacting you again when we come to replace our next vehicle……. On the whole, Customer service, these days, I have found to be quite disappointing and frustrating – I wish more companies showed the care and attention to detail that you guys have shown… you have restored my faith in Vehicle sales teams!! I would not hesitate in recommending you and wish all of our suppliers were are easy to deal with as you have been!! Thankyou especially to Shina and Sophie...."
