Which Best Selling Tipper is Right For You?

Tipper vans are a very practical way of offloading items and materials to improve the efficiency of your business. However, there are a lot of tipper vans to choose from. It’s important to understand their differences so that you can come to a realistic decision about your specific requirements.  This guide outlines the differences between our top-selling tippers, both the single and double cab ford transit tippers, and the Nissan Interstar.

Why Should You Buy a Tipper Van?

Tipper vans have a traditional van cab up front but its rear is composed of a trailer that is able to tilt upwards to offload the contents much easier. This is especially useful for companies that deal with large, awkward, and heavy objects. For instance, tree surgeons who move large parts of trees, construction companies who transport large quantities of materials, and vehicle hire companies who transport smaller vehicles like bikes, will all find a tipper van useful.

Tipper vans usually have large payloads of between 900 and 2,000kg and have towing capacities of roughly 750kg without a brake and around 3,000 with a brake.

Which Tipper is Right for You?

Ford Transit Single Cab: The single cab tipper is a popular and classic option when it comes to buying a tipper for your construction or industrial business. It has a much higher payload than some of its competitors, like the Nissan Interstar, but this does make it heavier and slower. That being said, with the ford transit van being so popular, you won’t struggle to find spare parts and cheaper accessories.

Ford Transit Double Cab: The double cab tipper is the same as the single cab, only with an extra row of seats behind the traditional three. This allows for extra employees to be transported along with any materials or items in the trailer. Yet, this added practicality does come with a higher price tag and a heavier and larger build.

Nissan Interstar: Although Nissan isn’t a primary player when it comes to supplying construction and industry vehicles, its Interstar tipper is an extremely competitive option. It has a lighter-weight chassis and its tipping trailer has a smaller form factor, making it a more nimble option than its larger alternatives.

"Very happy with our Vanaways transaction! We needed three new vans quickly for our company and Vanaways didn't disappoint. Hannah and Abbie were on hand every step of the way and provided extremely good prices which suited our business. Customer service is a priority for them and it shows with every phone call and email! When I need a few more, they will be my first port of call. Thankyou guys!"

"Great service right from the first contact with Reece, who then passed me onto Ash once initial sale was completed. From making payment delivery was approximately 3 days. Received text from Nathan this morning (16th June) and he was on time with delivery. Really pleased with the service I've received. Many thanks!"

"First class service, I must mention Adrian & Ash on an excellent deal & swift turn around under the short notice I had to buying a new van. Slight delay in the delivery of the van from manufacturers end but Adrian agreed to cover the cost of a hire van until my new van was delivered which allowed me to continue working. its the first time i've purchased a van without physically entering a dealership and i wouldn't hesitate to do it again."
