? What Is a Tipper Trailer?
A tipper trailer, also known as a dump trailer, is designed to tilt its bed to easily unload loose materials like sand, gravel, soil, rubble, or landscaping waste. With a hydraulic lift or manual tipping mechanism, tipper trailers simplify the task of bulk transport and unloading — no more shovelling by hand!
They are commonly used in construction, landscaping, and farming.
