Why Buy a Cage Tipper?
A cage tipper combines a conventional tipping body with taller sides, allowing bulky but relatively lightweight material to be carried more effectively.
They are particularly useful for hedge cuttings, branches, green waste, scrap, packaging, clearance work and other loads that would quickly fill a standard dropside body.
Some vehicles use removable cage sides, making the truck more flexible when carrying different types of load.
