Tipper truck hire with driver in Cape Town

When you need a tipper

• Removing builders' rubble, soil or old paving from a site
• Delivering sand, stone or gravel that you've bought from a supplier
• Moving loose material between sites, for example excavation spoil
• Landscaping projects that need topsoil, compost or gravel moved in bulk

For furniture, boxes or anything that must stay dry, a closed truck or panel van is the better choice.

Choosing the right size

Tippers are usually described by their load volume in cubic metres (m³), for example a 6 m³ tipper. Loose material is heavy, though, and a tipper can reach its legal payload (weight limit) before the body is full. Wet sand and broken concrete are especially dense. Tell us:

1. What the material is: sand, stone, soil, rubble or a mix
2. Roughly how much in cubic metres, tonnes or bags, or send photos
3. Where it must be loaded and tipped

We'll recommend a vehicle that carries the load safely and legally. Each vehicle listing shows payload and volume separately.

Where a tipper can tip

Tipping needs firm, level ground with enough space for the body to rise, and no overhead cables or branches. Soft lawns, steep driveways and pavements over services are not suitable. If the material has to go somewhere a tipper can't reach, we'll discuss options when we quote.

Loading

Rubble is loaded by hand or by machine, depending on the job. If you have a TLB or bobcat on site, mention it, because machine loading is much faster. If the rubble must be loaded by hand, tell us how far it is from the truck so the quote includes enough time or helpers.

Disposal

When we remove rubble or soil, it goes to an appropriate disposal or recycling facility. Disposal is often charged by weight. Clean rubble kept separate from household waste is usually simpler and cheaper to dispose of.
