Thwaites Dumper Trucks
Thwaites most compact dumpers are the 1 tonne Hi-Tip and Powerswivel. These dumper trucks fit through gaps of less than 1.2 metres. The Powerswivel skip can turn through 180 degrees. The Thwaites Hi-tip dumper truck is designed to lift its skip for safe tipping into a builder's skip. The narrow wheel version reduces the width of the vehicle to just under a metre.
The largest Thwaites dumpers are the 10 tonne models. These have a 111bhp Perkins turbodiesel engine. The 10 tonners feature heavy duty axles, flotation tyres as standard and the special Thwaites Kinglink chassis for extra grip and stability.
