Tipper Van Conversions

The cost of a tipper van conversion depends on the chassis choice, body material and specification. Factors such as single or double cab configuration, aluminium or steel body choice, tool storage and safety features all influence pricing.

We provide clear, tailored quotations based on your payload requirements and working environment, ensuring your tipper conversion is built for durability, compliance and long-term performance. Tipper body prices start from £35,000+VAT. Speak to our team for a specification-led quote.

We build tipper bodies onto chassis supplied by leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, including Ford, Maxus, Iveco, Mercedes-Benz and Renault, along with other major platforms. We do not modify the original manufacturer; instead, we install a professionally engineered tipper body to the base chassis.

All builds are completed in line with UK type-approval requirements, ensuring the finished tipper conversion remains compliant, safe and suitable for commercial road use.

Yes. Our tipper conversions are built to meet relevant UK type-approval and safety standards. Compliance is considered at every stage of the build process, giving you confidence that your vehicle is road legal and suitable for commercial use.

Payload capacity depends on the chosen chassis, body specification and fuel type. Aluminium tipper bodies help maximise payload due to their lighter weight, while steel bodies are suited to heavier-duty applications.

For electric vehicles (EVs), payload may differ compared to diesel equivalents due to battery weight and chassis configuration. Our team assesses your material types, usage and vehicle platform to recommend a compliant tipper conversion that balances strength, efficiency and legal weight limits.

We calculate final vehicle weights post-conversion to ensure compliance with plated limits and type approval regulations.

Yes. Flexible finance options are available for tipper van conversions, helping trades spread the cost of investment. Our team can discuss funding solutions that align with your budget and business growth plans.

A single cab tipper maximises load bed length and payload capacity, making it ideal for transporting materials. A double cab tipper provides additional seating for crew members while retaining tipping functionality. The right option depends on whether your priority is load space or team transport.

Steel tipper bodies are extremely durable and suited to demanding environments. Aluminium bodies reduce overall vehicle weight, allowing for increased payload and improved efficiency. The best choice depends on the type of materials you handle, how the vehicle will be used daily and the manufacturer chassis you choose.

A typical 3.5-tonne steel tipper body weighs approximately 320–400kg, depending on specification and floor thickness. An equivalent aluminium tipper body generally weighs around 180–250kg.

This weight difference of 100–150kg can translate directly into additional usable payload capacity on a 3.5t chassis, which is significant for operators regularly working close to their plated limits.

Yes. Alongside build-to-order conversions, we regularly stock ready-built tipper vans for sale to reduce lead times when vehicles are required quickly. Availability changes, so contact our team to discuss current stock options.
