Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Consider When Buying a Tipper Truck?
Investing in a tipper truck for sale is a significant business decision. Consider the materials you"ll transport most frequently, whether aggregate, soil, or construction waste. Remember that New Zealand road regulations strictly govern weight limits, so choosing the right capacity for your typical loads is crucial for compliance and efficiency. If you're not ready for purchase, our flexible tipper trailer rental options can help you assess your exact needs.
The heart of any tipper truck is its hydraulic system. When examining second-hand tipper trucks for sale, pay special attention to the smoothness of lifting operations, signs of leakage, and hydraulic component service history.
At TR Group NZ, we guide you through these considerations, ensuring you make an informed decision that serves your business well into the future.
What Are the Benefits of Buying a Used Tipper Truck?
When you own your tipper truck, you"re building a valuable business asset. Ownership gives you complete control over availability – no more scheduling headaches or rushing to return vehicles by the deadline. You can respond to urgent jobs immediately, take on additional contracts confidently, and even create new revenue streams by hiring out your truck during quiet periods.
Another compelling reason to choose a used tipper truck for sale is immediate value for money. A quality used truck can deliver the same performance as a new vehicle at a fraction of the cost. New trucks can lose up to 20% of their value in the first year alone – a depreciation hit you can avoid by choosing used. Our second-hand tipper trucks have already taken their main depreciation drop, meaning you're getting maximum bang for your buck.
How Much Can A Tipper Truck Carry?
A standard 6x4 tipper truck typically has a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) ranging from 23,000kg to 26,000kg. However, it"s important to note that this isn't all usable payload – you'll need to subtract the truck's weight (tare weight) to determine your actual carrying capacity. For most tipper trucks in this configuration, this translates to a practical payload capacity between 13-16 tonnes, depending on the specific truck model and body type.
We offer various used tipper trucks for sale to suit different needs:
- 4x2 tipper trucks suit smaller operations with payloads of around 7-9 tonnes
- 6x4 tippers offer medium-range capacity with 13-16 tonne payloads
- 8x4 tippers provide maximum capacity with payloads of up to 19-22 tonnes
