Popular Tipper Truck Models
Mercedes-Benz Actros 32t 8-wheel tipper - popular for aggregates and construction
DAF CF 26t tipper - widely used; good used market
Volvo FMX - specialist construction truck; good ground clearance
MAN TGS tipper - competitive pricing
Scania P-Series tipper - strong residuals; popular in quarrying
Mercedes-Benz Atego 7.5t tipper - popular for smaller contractors
Yes. Grab lorries (a tipper with a hydraulic grab arm) can be financed. The grab is typically part of the financed asset. Rates are similar to standard tipper rates.
What is a hookloader vs a tipper?
A hookloader has a hydraulic system that lifts and loads demountable skips or containers. A tipper raises the fixed body. Hookloaders are financed similarly to tippers.
Do tipper trucks hold their value?
Used tippers in good condition in popular configurations (8-wheel aggregate, 26t construction) hold value reasonably well. High-mileage or heavily worn tippers lose value faster. We factor this into balloon HP recommendations.
Can a new construction company finance tippers?
Yes, though it is more challenging without trading history. Larger deposits and strong personal credit can help. We know which lenders consider construction startups.
