tippers is keenly fought As well as the brands you see here, Fiat, [DV, Isuzu and Toyota are all bidding for the contents of assorted lightweight tipper procurement budgets. From the largest local authority to the one-man jobbing gardener, everyone can find a use for one.

Now you can have tippers that tip three ways, alloy or steel bodies, front, rear or four wheel drive and cabs that carry from two to seven crew members. Picking a winner is nearly impossible as everyone's priorities will vary, but if forced to decide then aggressive pricing and excellent payload would see the Citroen Relay hold the trophy.
