Tipper vehicles are an essential asset for businesses involved in construction, landscaping, highways maintenance, utilities, and waste management. Designed to simplify the transportation and unloading of loose materials, a tipper conversion improves efficiency, reduces manual handling, and increases productivity on site.
At Van Guru, we design and manufacture bespoke tipper van conversions to suit a wide range of commercial applications. From standard tippers to specialist toolbox tippers and vehicles fitted with up-and-over tail lifts, our conversions are built to deliver reliability, durability, and outstanding performance.
What is a Tipper Vehicle?
A tipper vehicle features a hydraulically operated body that raises the load bed to allow materials to be discharged quickly and safely. This makes tipper conversions ideal for transporting and unloading aggregates, soil, rubble, green waste, building materials, and other loose loads.
Available on a variety of chassis cab platforms, our tipper conversions can be tailored to suit your specific operational requirements.
Standard Tipper Conversions
Our standard tipper conversions provide a practical and cost-effective solution for businesses requiring efficient material transport and unloading.
Benefits of a Standard Tipper:
- Fast and efficient unloading
- Reduced manual labour
- Robust and durable construction
- Excellent payload capacity
- Suitable for a wide range of industries
Built using high-quality materials, our standard tippers are designed to withstand the demands of daily commercial use while maintaining maximum reliability.
Typical Applications:
- Construction companies
- Groundworks contractors
- Landscaping businesses
- Utilities providers
- Local authority fleets
- Waste management operators
Toolbox Tipper Conversions
Toolbox tippers combine the functionality of a tipper body with secure integrated storage solutions, allowing operatives to transport tools, equipment, and materials within a single vehicle.
Features of a Toolbox Tipper:
- Lockable integrated toolboxes
- Underbody storage compartments
- Weather-resistant storage solutions
- Secure equipment transportation
- Easy access to tools and materials
Benefits:

Toolbox tippers are particularly popular with builders, utilities contractors, highways maintenance teams, and landscaping businesses.
Tipper Conversions with Up and Over Tail Lift
For businesses that transport heavy equipment, machinery, or palletised goods in addition to loose materials, a tipper body can be combined with an up-and-over tail lift.
An up-and-over tail lift folds neatly over the rear of the body when not in use, allowing the tipper function to operate without obstruction while retaining full lifting capability.
Benefits of an Up and Over Tail Lift:
- Easy loading of heavy equipment
- Maintains full tipping functionality
- Improved operational flexibility
- Reduced manual handling risks
- Increased vehicle versatility
This solution is ideal for operators who require both material tipping and mechanical loading capabilities from a single vehicle.
Common Applications:
- Utilities contractors
- Plant hire companies
- Construction firms
- Highways maintenance operators
- Equipment delivery services
