Buy or hire the TT3017 if...

  • you want one that is rated 2 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.

Buy or hire the Standard Flatbed if...

A general-purpose flatbed trailer range built in several weight ratings on the same 6'1" wide bed, so hire and sales yards can offer one design across light and heavier loads. It suits plant, vehicle and general haulage rather than any single specialist job.
