Toyota Tipper Truck

[OOOOMS]

Has anyone heard or seen of a Toyota tipper truck before?

[Thabogrobler]

Ja, soos in die 6 cube nommers(DA is die lang neus model nommer?) of so hier en daar sien jy Dyna's.

But why?

[OOOOMS]

Dankie Thabo, ek bedoel iets kleins half ton of 'n 1 ton.

They've been around for decades .... seem to recall from about late 60's onwards ... open to correction, but were first marketed here as Hino. The Hilux rear and side tippers I think are custom jobs, not available off the showroom floor. (You posted while I was busy .... but, ja the smaller ones are available .... probably special order though)

Ah see, I thought there was something of this sort but not seen anything around.

Man, I like the suspense of this story.

I am quite sure I have seen a Toyota D/C type tipper, similar to the SC Andy posted.

As jy genoeg geld daarna gooi, kan jy skerlik een laat bou??

Kan nie so moeilik wees nie?

Mark, If you take a one ton long wheelbase Toyota, mount a lightweight load bin on it, with a fair size hydrolic ram it would easily carry a ½ ton load. The Toyota chassis should be capable to carry such a load? I have seen a Isuzu with such a conversion and it worked well. You get a 3 wheel motorbike with a 1,2 x 1,2 x 300mm load bin with a small hydrolic ram, works well. I had a CI built garden tip trailer that operated with a ordinary hand winch.

Such a conversion, bar the price of the Toyota chassis, should be cheap to build. Go for it.

Frik, ek's nie seker of die Hilux so iets sal kan hanteer nie???

Wat's jou opinie?

[Mud Dog]

The Hilux was built as a one tonner .... chassis should be able to handle the load just fine. Only thing is that the pivot point (rear end of chassis) for the tipping bin would have to be reinforced (or cut back to where the shackles mount). For some reason Toyota reduced the gauge at the rear end and changed from a rectangular box to a rectangular channel profile ..... not as tough. It's totally do-able.

Are you looking at doing mini-load cartage?

No, just wondering it the chassis would be strong enough...?

Mark, as ons nou van 'n Isuzu praat of dalk 'n Nissan, sou ek sê jy kan dit doen, maar ek persoonlik dink die Toyota chassis is glad nie opgewasse vir die taak nie.

Jammer vir die Toyota aanhangers maar feite is feite. :!: :!: :!:

Die ou spreekwoord wat sê; wie laaste lag, lag die lekkerste.

Nou is ek seker in die Dog Box op die forum.

Easy peasy, wanneer jy jou Hilux (of enige ander kommersieele voertuig) koop kan jy hom bestel met 'n tipper of iso-body by meeste handelaars en dan kos dit jou ook nie so baie nie. Presies selfde as wat jy kry wanneer jy 'n isolated body laat opsit as jy roomys of ys wil verkoop en dit iewers moet rondry (of baie bier moet aflaai).

TATA, Mahindra en Ford bou hom sommer al so in die fabriek met 'n flatbed en drop sides.

My finger 'hover' nou nog so oor die 'delete button' wat jou profile sal verwyder!

Mark, die groot vraag is: Waarvoor wil jy dit gebruik? As ons in dieselfde rigting dink het ek dalk vir jou 'n idee of twee...

Ek dink nie ons praat van dieselfde tiepe tipper nie Thanbo. Wil net hoor of julle dink die standaard D/C se chassis sterk genoeg is om 'n vag te dra, sonder om te knak :!:

An No!!! Seems not........

No man, you're overlooking a lot of factors .... look at the overhang of that camper ..... that extra weight being carried all the time over rough terrain with the extra stresses brought on by the leverage that the overhang produces, you can't expect it to hold forever. That situation is far, far worse than the stresses on a chassis from a tipper truck .... the weight will probably even be less than that fully loaded camper, and the loads are not being carted around 24/7 ..... If the bakkie works hard as a tipper it will only be carrying a load for about 30% of it's mileage. Furthermore, those tippers usually have a bit of a tail cut done to the chassis which lessens the leverage factor, as is also the case when you use a single cab rather than a DC. Look at that DC in the pics ..... all the weight is behind the rear wheel. there's a couple of these mini-load tippers running around locally carrying building sand and stone (even used their services myself many times) and they don't have any problems after many years running around all day delivering loads.
