What Is A Tipper Van?

What is a Tipper Van?

A Tipper Van is a commercial vehicle designed for carrying and tipping heavy loads such as construction materials, soil, gravel, or waste. Our Tipper Vans are equipped with a hydraulic tipping mechanism that allows the cargo bed to be raised and emptied, making it ideal for transporting loose materials. The tipping mechanism is controlled by a control panel located in the cab, which allows the driver to operate it safely and easily.

Who uses Tipper Vans?

Tipper Vans are used by a wide range of businesses and organisations that require a vehicle for transporting and delivering heavy loads. They offer a reliable and efficient solution for transporting materials to and from job sites or other locations.

The Tippers have a capacity to transport 3 people in the CAB meaning not only does it transport goods, it transports multiple people as well!! Some of the industries that use Tippers are:

A Tipper Van can also be extremely useful with clearing the waste in a shorter number of trips with its variation of payload size with the maximum going up to 1705kg.

Landscaping Companies also use Tipper vans for transporting and delivering materials such as soil, plants and any other materials they may use. They are particularly useful for landscaping projects that require large amounts of materials to be transported to and from a job site.

What could be better than having the ability to transport staff and pupils on an educational visit as well as have the tools at your disposal to immediately move to a classroom-based experience?

At a time when physical and mental well-being have never been a higher priority, the mobile classroom offers an ideal resource to help nurture and engage pupils in a safe and secure environment. It has clear benefits in the drive to reduce exclusions and promote attendance as well as allowing vulnerable and disaffected students to access education in a high-quality setting.

This Minibus Mobile Classroom has a 12-seat capacity with 10 seats in the rear for pupil transport. Each bank of seats has its own access to domest plug sockets and a foldable table. This allows for easy accessibility to learning experiences and the utilisation of all the modern technologies you would expect in a building based classroom.

To allow for interactive learning within the Mobile Classroom there is a rail above the door so that a whiteboard or projector can be attached for Visual Learning Aids. This Minibus is perfect for delivering the classroom to the learner.

Increase Pupil Engagement!

Providing a resource such as a Mobile Classroom allows education to be enhanced by taking the Minibus to the desired location to ensure the full environmental learning experience is caught.
