SCANIA Tipper Trucks For Sale in COUNTY KERRY

A tipper truck has to be a tough customer or else it cannot hope to compete in the current market. And Scania's tipper trucks are certainly durable, with many models managing to survive for decades and come back to the market to be sold to new owners looking for an affordable way to procure just such a vehicle. 4x2, 6x2 and even 8x4 variants are available used, with Scania making tippers with operating weights of between 18 tonnes and 32 tonnes, thus catering to a variety of operations and applications.

Choosing a used tipper truck does mean that you need to inspect prospective models to ensure that they are in the advertised state. These machines tend to see a lot of use on construction sites and on other places where adverse terrain is common while also coping with irregular loads of loose materials which may be both heavy and abrasive. Well-kept examples which are both up to date in terms of maintenance and left in a clean condition by previous owners are a bonus.

Used Scania P Series Tipper at TruckLocator

Choose an 8x4 Scania Tipper

The larger 8x4 Scania tippers available second-hand tend to fall into either the older 4 Series tippers or the more recently released P Series tippers, with features such as a steel load space and spring suspension set-up common on most models. Newer tippers will come equipped with engines that comply with the latest standards on emissions and efficiency, meaning that the P Series might be a better choice for those looking for Euro III, IV and V power plants. Steel bodies may be a fairly standard feature for tippers, but you can also find bulk tippers built in lighter aluminium, which is a cost-effective choice because this reduction in weight helps to keep fuel costs low. Any alloy components such as this do need to be looked at carefully for wear and tear on used models, since this metal is not necessarily as sturdy as steel.

18 Tonne Scania Tippers

When opting for a smaller Scania tipper in the 18 tonne weight category, you may encounter a suitably diverse range of cab configurations, with day cabs accommodating two or three people a regular feature of these vehicles. Benefits afforded by smaller models include the availability of dropside tipper bodies, meaning the rear gate is not the only place from which materials can be unloaded. Some tractor units may even be sold separately, with the option to add a tipper body courtesy of the correct couplings and hydraulic circuits at a later date. This is worth considering when searching for a used tipper, as the wealth of Scania models out there means that there are a lot of variations on this body type to take into account.

Other tipper features that Scania models may offer include integrated grabloader crane trucks, the presence of which can streamline loading if you are not going to have an excavator or loader available to use on-site in every scenario. Just remember that the more kit that is included with a used Scania tipper, the more closely you will need to check up on the state of repair of the unit in question.
