TANDEM TIPPER
PRINCIPAL USES
Tip Trucks form a major component of the Earthmoving Industry through the transport and disposal of materials. Transport and disposal costs are often a significant expense with many earthmoving jobs, it is therefore essential to obtain professional advice to ascertain the most economical method of loading, carting and disposing of materials. Common materials to be removed by tip trucks include clean fill, clay, rubbish, rocks, bricks, asphalt, mixed fill & concrete. Some trucks & drivers are certified to cart contaminated material but these need to carefully managed & thoroughly organised.
There are three main Tip Truck categories
- Small (Single drive vehicles with 5-6m3 capacity)
Small Tip Trucks are mostly used when working in confined locations with small volume of materials. They are used significantly as a combination unit with earthmoving machines such as Skidsteer Loaders and small excavators - Medium (Tandem drive Vehicles with 10m3 capacity)
Tandem drive Tip Trucks are the most common type. They are generally more economical than the small trucks but can be restricted by tight locations. They are not normally as economical as Truck and Trailers on large volume (clean fill), long haul cartage. They are able to carry most types of materials. - Large (Tandem drive Vehicles and tipping trailer with 22m3 capacity)
The large Truck and Trailer are principally used on large volume, long haul cartage. They need bigger areas than other trucks for turning and tipping.

TRUCK & TRAILER
PRINCIPAL USES
All track machines and a majority of rubber tyred machines are "floated" to jobs.
Float transport includes :
Small - Tandem trailers, tip trucks, single drive tilt tray trucks.
Medium - Tandem drive tilt tray trucks, single and tandem axle low loaders and step deck trailers with single drive prime movers.
Large - Tandem, tri-axle and quad-axle low loaders with tandem drive prime mover.
Larger sized machinery can sometimes exceed the dimensions allowable by law to travel unrestricted on Victorian roads. These machines then need to be floated out of peak traffic times & may need a pilot car to escort them.
There are many factors that must be considered in coordinating float movement. Our operations staff will ensure the correct information is gathered and the appropriate actions taken. We have access to numerous reliable Heavy Haulage companies that transport our Sub-Contractors machines to and from site.
