The configuration
What is a semi tipper?
A semi tipper combines a prime mover with a tipping semi-trailer connected through a fifth-wheel coupling. Unlike a rigid tipper or truck and dog, it is an articulated vehicle with its own turning and site-access requirements.
Actual payload and suitability depend on the specific prime mover and trailer, tare mass, body configuration, material, route, access and applicable operating limits.
