Buy or hire the TT3017 if...
- you want one that is rated 3.1 tonnes heavier gross
A mid-size powered tipper used by groundworkers, agricultural contractors and self-builders moving muck, aggregate and spoil. The electric tipping ram is what you are paying for over a hand-winch tipper, and on a trailer used weekly it earns that back quickly.
