Side Tipper Trailer

Side tippers tip their load sideways, which is faster and more stable for bulk materials such as grain, coal, aggregate, fertiliser and mineral sands. They're common in mining, agriculture and bulk haulage, often in multi-trailer combinations.

Lenders see side tippers as more specialised than end tippers. They're popular in mining and grain regions but have a smaller general resale market. Lenders look at the operator's bulk haulage work, especially contracts with mines, ports or grain handlers. For used units, they may ask about the tipping rams, hinges and bin condition.

Tip: seasonal grain work and mining contracts produce very different cash flows. Show the lender the pattern of your work so the repayments can be set to match.
