SuperLite Tipper Body

Why choose SuperLite?

Think heavy duty, think SuperLite. Think maximum productivity, think SuperLite again.
Why? Because SuperLite takes steel bodies into a whole new performance league, offering up to a full tonne of extra payload than traditional steel bodies.

Hard working and versatile

More than ever, today's tippers have to be hard working and versatile. Site work, for example, might mean taking rock and hardcore out, and bringing sand and aggregates in. The first part of such a job would be beyond an aluminium body, whilst the second would incur an unacceptably low payload from a heavy steel design.

Offers all the strength of steel

SuperLite is now the steel body of choice precisely because it offers all the strength of steel as well as a clear 20 tonne payload when fitted to the majority of today's standard specification 8x4 chassis. Similarly, SuperLite offers an equally significant 'payload plus' to operators preferring deliberately heavy duty vehicle specifications.

Unmatched productivity potential

A totally modern design with smooth, single piece sides and a curved floor for easy load ejection, SuperLite offers any operator a simply unmatched productivity potential.

SuperLite specifications include:

  • Capacity: From 8 to 16cu.m., suitable for 18, 26 and 32 tonnes gvw chassis
