Read More (Used MAN Tippers for Sale)MAN tippers can be a good choice when it comes to durability or pulling power, providing a reliable way to transport loads consisting of various materials across tarmac, dirt tracks, gravel drives and uneven surfaces of all kinds.
These machines are made for harsh conditions and find regular use across construction sites the world over. You can find used MAN models released in the recent past along with older workhorses which are nevertheless a worthwhile investment for certain buyers.
There are even different tipper bodies provided by this manufacturer, as well as varied cab configurations and levels of kit. Tippers are tough, and MAN makes sure that they live up to this reputation with its range of trucks.
18-tonne MAN tipper trucks, including the current TGM model can be found second-hand, with each offering particular benefits that need to be explored by prospective buyers. For example, some variants in this smaller size category come with dropside bodies, which may well be preferable for certain operators. Meanwhile, a rigid steel body can offer a bit more durability and lower overall maintenance, with added layers of insulation being featured by some tippers to help them tackle the roughest materials. Affordable MAN tippers can be found with steel spring suspension, but a smoother ride is offered by newer counterparts with air suspension. If driver comfort and off-road performance are important, then more consideration may be given to such features. The type of cab should also come under scrutiny, since standard three-seater tippers from MAN are common, while crew cab or even sleeper cab models can be found on the used market if required.
32-tonne MAN TGS tippers are ideal for the task of moving various types of material, whether for brief journeys or long stints. And there are two main body types to look out for: the standard steel body tippers and the bulk tippers that may have steel or alloy body panelling. Material-specific models, such as tippers intended to transport tarmac for road construction, can be found at the more heavy-duty end of the category. This means the body can also feature mechanisms and pumps designed to quickly load or unload the materials. And wherever complex systems are added, it is sensible to pay close attention to how well they function on used models so that a satisfactory purchase can be made.
MAN tipper trucks may come with cruise control, air con and a range of in-cab electrics to control everything from the tipping hydraulics to the CD player. Engine power is obviously important, but buyers should also consider the fuel efficiency and emissions of a particular model to work out its running costs and environmental impact.
MAN relies on modern engines for newer tippers, with Euro compliance a given. But you still need to thoroughly examine second-hand tipper trucks to see how well they have held up under the strains of repeated use, as well as whether proper maintenance procedures have been followed to give them solid long-term prospects.
