What is a removable tipper?
The removable tipper, also known as an Ampliroll tipper, removable container or hooklift container, can be used like a traditional tipper, i.e. for transport and tipping but it stands out from the latter because it can be deposited on the ground.
Operation and technical characteristics of removable tippers
The removable tipper is used with a utility vehicle (GVWR 3.5 tonnes) fitted with a hydraulic arm and does not require a specific licence. The arm is used to mount the container on the truck or conversely to place it on the ground. This is possible due to the cradle, most often 1060 mm wide, located under the removable tipper. If fact this has a gripping hook at the front allowing the arm to pick up the container. The rollers at the rear enable it to be moved without damaging the ground and the bodywork. To use it for rear tipping, it is just necessary to close the hooks (this locks the removable tipper on the chassis of the truck) and to lift it with the arm. At the rear the universal door is used with 2 leaves or with standard manual unhooking.
JPM offers removable tippers in both steel and aluminium. Aluminium removable tippers are as strong as those in steel, and allow a payload increase of more than 250 kg whilst also being corrosion-resistant. The internal dimensions for an Ampliroll tipper on a 3.5 tonne truck are usually 3160 mm x 2000 mm with 350 mm sideboards. The height may be adjusted by adding extensions.
What is a removable tipper for?
Ultimately removable tippers are multi-use tippers:
- rubble tippers,
- building material transport,
- small appliance transport (lawn mowers, cement saws, etc.).
They are smaller than HGV tippers and are more easily put down on a work site, particularly in towns and cities.
For which trades are removable/ampliroll tippers useful?
This type of body is of interest as much to building professionals as it is to landscape gardeners. Unlike a standard rear tipper, the user has a single truck fitted with an arm but several removable tippers. So this way he can have one on each site without routinely immobilising a truck.
The user can also customise his removable tipper depending on his activities. So a landscape gardener may have in his fleet
- a pruning container fitted with extensions and a cover to limit projections from shredding, etc.
- a garden maintenance container with fold-down extensions to deposit the cut grass in the tipper, rear extensions, a solid cab protection, etc.
- a garden design container with a rear beam rack, tool holder, etc.
All this with just a single truck!
The many advantages of JPM removable tippers.
The advantages of a truck fitted with a hydraulic arm are, therefore, many:
- Limited investment: a single truck for as many containers as you wish
- Time saving: a removable tipper is on a site whilst on another site there is a different tipper.
- Reduction in difficulty: the load is not mounted in the container, the container is on the ground
- Customised containers for the various activities of the professional: waste tipper on a site, pruning tipper, etc.
JPM steel and aluminium removable tippers are very robust, designed to last, and made in France. They are carefully designed to meet users’ needs in the best possible way: - All welding is bead welding. It is very resistant, contributing greatly to the tipper’s robustness.
- The sideboards are boxed, which makes them very rigid and limits any deformation. In fact, a knock on the inside during loading will not be visible on the outside. In addition, the sealing lip on the lower part of the sideboard guarantees better retention of some loads such as sand.
- The rear pillars are conical, thus providing maximum efficiency over time. They are fixed by a tightening screw enabling them to be adjusted if necessary.
- The finishing coat, based on thermosetting epoxy powder, is resistant to impacts and scratches.
- All JPM removable tippers are fitted with a patented anti-theft system. Once the container is on the ground, it is fixed to the gripping device preventing any possibility of removal by an arm.
- The JPM hooklift containers are customisable to the user's trade by the addition of accessories throughout the lifetime of the bodywork. A “pruning”container can therefore be turned into a “rubble” container.
- They have a 3-year guarantee: 2 years on purchase and an additional year after registering the body on the JPM website.
What is the price of JPM removable tippers?
Removable tippers can be purchased by the user directly from the JPM online shop with a very short delivery time or from the JPM distribution network which also provides After-Sales Service.
Availability, robustness and customisation all make JPM removable tippers true work tools for building and landscaping professionals.
