Which Transit Tipper Should I Buy?

Transit vans have been the go-to versatile vehicle for decades, and are perfect for tradespeople, individuals needing to carry tools and materials, or even when you’re looking to organise a family day-trip and need plenty of room. Transit Tippers on the other hand are specialist Transit vans which are ideal for work on building sites, large-scale construction jobs, and other trade tasks. Even more specific, at Vanaways, we maintain a range of new Transit Tippers for varied jobs and purposes. Read on for the unique features of various tipper vans, and discover which is right for you.

Single Cab 1-Way Tipper

A single cab vehicle is capable of carrying one row of crew members, which is ideal for jobs which require a small team. When navigating a crew from A to B, the single cab 1-way Transit van is nimble enough for use in urban areas and cities, with practical functionality and a range of convenient features. Benefit from Ford’s signature quality, and streamline functions on-site with a reliable tipper, which is capable of 1-way movement for easy unloading.

Single Cab 3-Way Tipper

Single cab 3-way tippers retain all the benefits of a 1-way tipper, with more flexibility in terms of movement and control of your load. 3-way movement ensures you can navigate a tipper to the left, right or centrally, ensuring accurate placement of materials or heavy components. Perfect for jobs which require placement of goods in a precise manner, these manoeuvrable Transit models are a fantastic addition to any fleet, with finance offers and used vehicles available from Vanaways. 

Double Cab Tipper

Double cab tipper vans are a brilliant addition to any fleet thanks to the spacious interior, room for plenty of passengers, and selection of helpful features when on the roads or when working. Even with extremely heavy cargo, a tipper can transport and provide precise unloading, ideal for tricky tasks on a building site. For senior stakeholders, a custom transit tipper may prove a sensible investment, working out cheaper than hiring a large number of individuals to lift the very same cargo.

Features And Additions

New Transit tippers from Ford are equipped with a selection of optional additions and convenient features for use in a number of contexts. While a remote wander lead handset allows for assured and easy control,  the durable 5-stage chromium plated ram is complete with shock absorbers and electrical limit switches to control tipping angle. Users can even alternate between the side-mounted remote lever for a top-hinged operation, or the pillar latches for a bottom-hinged operation.

"Staff here are so courteous & helpful, genuine in how they talk rather than that dreaded ‘business speak’. Reception and offices are modern & relaxing to be in, very cool music in background too! Some place just give you the basics - but I found Vanaways completely charming throughout, really appreciated thank you."
