Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tipper truck used for?
A tipper truck, also known as a dump truck, is used to transport and unload materials like soil, gravel, sand or debris. It features a hydraulic tray that tips backward to release the load quickly and safely. Tipper trucks are essential for construction, landscaping and cleanup projects, as they efficiently move heavy materials.
Can I drive a tipper truck on a car licence?
Smaller tipper trucks designed for light commercial use can usually be driven on a standard car licence if their Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) is under 4.5 tonnes. Larger tippers may require a light or medium rigid licence. Always check the truck’s registration and local road rules to ensure you meet legal requirements.
How much weight can a tipper truck carry?
Car-licence tippers typically hold around 2 cubic metres of material, depending on density and road limits. This equates to roughly 2–3 tonnes for soil or gravel. Larger trucks can handle far greater capacities, but it’s important not to overload the vehicle, as exceeding the legal weight limit can cause safety issues or fines.
