InsuLite Tipper Body

Why is InsuLite so different?

A high quality insulated, steel body with the potential of a 20 tonne payload? When looking at the new InsuLite, seeing is believing!
InsuLite takes the established versatility of SuperLite another stage further by offering a high payload steel body that's ideal for tarmac work, too.

Maximum possible flexibility

Conceived particularly for the many small fleets who service the big quarrying groups, InsuLite offers hauliers the maximum possible flexibility in being able to handle rapidly changing operational requirements.
For example, Monday to Wednesday their trucks may be on hot resurfacing work, before a switch on Thursday to aggregates, ending the week with some site work on Friday.

Keep their vehicles working hard and profitably

Uniquely versatile and with a superb payload potential to match, InsuLite offers operators a singularly advantageous opportunity to keep their vehicles working hard and profitably as changing needs dictate.
