Suffolk-based operator Tippers R Us has taken delivery of 15 MAN 8x4 tippers with all-steel Loadmaster Lite bodies by Thompson – the first phase of its order for up to 50 new vehicles over two years.
Thirteen of the new arrivals have heavy-duty 35.400 MAN chassis, with high ground clearance and a hub reduction back end; the remaining two are the lighter and lower 32.400 chassis, with single reduction axles.
With a payload capacity of around 18,800kg, the MAN/Loadmaster Lite combination provides strength and durability, along with versatility and productivity, according to the operator.
Tippers R Us owner Guy Nicholls says Thompson bodies are the best: “Over the years, I’ve bought many examples for this and other tipping businesses, and each time the Loadmasters have proved again and again that they are more than up to any task.”
