The 3.5 tonne TP (civil engineering) tippers

What are TP tippers used for?

A 3.5 tonne civil engineering tipper truck has different uses:

• transport of teams on work sites
  So a Double cab vehicle can transport up to 7 people, whereas a single cab vehicle can take a maximum of 3.
• towing
  It is important to have an efficient coupling system suitable for the different types of equipment towed.
• transport of small equipment and tools
  The truck must be fitted with storage suitable for the equipment transported
• And, of course, tipping
  It must be efficient even when the load is not evenly distributed
  

What are the advantages of JPM bodies for civil engineering?

Civil engineering tippers are usually in steel. They must have a high tipping capacity as they are under a lot of stress. A 3260 mm JPM tipper has a tipping capacity of 4.3 tonnes (evenly distributed load). If the load is not evenly distributed, the net tipping capacity is a minimum of 2 tonnes (even if all the weight is in the front).
The JPM TP (civil engineering) tipper is very robust and designed to last:

• Bead welding, recognised for its resistance, reinforces the structure
• The boxed sideboards provide increased rigidity and limit all visible deformation, even in the case of interior impacts. The lower sealing lip provides better retention of fine loads.
• The rear conical pillars guarantee extended stability and may be adjusted using a tightening screw.
• The finish in thermosetting epoxy powder resists impacts and scratches effectively
• The stops on which the sideboards and the door rest when they are open prevent the appearance of knocks
  

What are the specific options for TP tippers?

JPM tippers, which are made in France, must be fitted with accessories, essential customisation for civil engineering professionals:

• Cab storage locker
  This is a “must-have” on the TP tipper because it makes it possible to store small tools: power tools, laser, etc. It could be fitted with shelves, non-slip mat and especially burglar-proof doors protecting the tools (often very expensive) from theft.
• Jib crane
  The jib crane makes it possible to load small equipment into the tipper effortlessly: tamping machine, generator, cement saw, etc. So it reduces the difficulty of the work.
• Diesel tank
  With a capacity of 100 litres and stored in the behind cab storage locker, it provides refuelling for small work site machines.
• Tool holder
  Up to 3 tool holders may be fixed to the cab protection. They allow tools with handles to be stored. With the clipping system the tools are accessible from the ground without having to climb into the tipper.
• Easydoor door
  This is a double function door: it is automatically released during tipping like a standard door and it can open downwards like a sideboard. In the latter configuration, the user has 3 access points: on the 2 sides and at the rear.
• Coupling: Triva TP
  The TRIVA TP is used both as an underrun protection device and a head stock. It is fitted with 2 tow hooks at 2 different heights: the ball hook and the tow hitch. This versatility enables it to adapt to the various equipment to be towed in the best way possible. The rear underrun protection device is authorised for a GVWR of ≤ 5.5 tonnes and the head stock for a GVCW of ≤ 9 tonnes.
• Locker under the tipper
  These compact lockers, located under the tipper provide additional, very practical storage. Some of them are already pre-equipped, e.g. the strap storage box. These come in different sizes and different materials: polyurethane or stainless steel.
• Cone holder
  Cones are essential for securing the work site and should always be within reach in the truck. Instead of being thrown in bulk into the tipper and so often forgotten, they are stored on a holder under the tipper. This holder pivots outwards making easy access possible.
• Lashing rings
  The load must be securely lashed. A TP tipper should be fitted with lashing rings on the bottom and on the cab protection. On JPM steel tippers strapping is also possible on the frame edge (under the tipper).
• Tipper access
  The stepladder or step make it possible to climb into the tipper easily and completely safely.
  

Which professions use TP tippers?

All these options reduce difficulty and increase efficiency of all trades in civil engineering:

• Roadworkers
• Roadworks and miscellaneous networks companies
• Swimming pool maintainers
• Companies specialising in sanitation work
• Local authorities
• Etc.
  They can be added at any time during the life of the tipper and the cost effectiveness at work is excellent.

JPM TP tippers are designed for the demands of work sites and stand out by their robustness, customisation and durability, making them true work tools of choice for civil engineering professionals.
