Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between tipper vehicles and dropside vans?+

Both tipper and dropside vans look similar to flatbed trucks – the difference is how you can empty them. Dropside vans have hinged panels at the side and the back that can be lowered to allow easy access to the load on the bed of the van.

With tipper vans, the bed of the truck tilts either upwards or to one side, to ‘tip’ the load out. This makes it great for shifting flexible but bulky items – like topsoil or pebbles – though it is not ideal for anything breakable.

What is the difference between a flatbed and a dropside van?+

The difference between a flatbed truck and a dropside van is that you can only lower the back panel of a flatbed – with a dropside van, you can also lower the sides. This can make removing your load from the truck a lot easier, giving you more space to manoeuvre plus letting you remove bigger quantities.

Lowering the side also makes it easier to empty the load from your vehicle using external equipment.

Do you need a different type of license to drive a tipper?+

If you hire a tipper van from us, you won’t need a specific driving licence to operate it. The vans we provide are classed as Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) which means they can be driven using a Category B licence – as with all our specialist commercial vehicles.
