OVERVIEW

High-Sided Cage Bodies
That Work As Hard As You Do.

Cage tippers are specialist tipper vehicles fitted with high-sided mesh cage bodies that extend the usable load volume without adding significant weight. The open mesh construction allows air to circulate through bulky loads of green waste, garden waste, tree cuttings, recyclables and general landscaping debris — making them the preferred choice wherever volume matters as much as payload.

Available across GVW ratings from 3.5 tonnes through to 7.5 tonnes, cage tippers can be built on van-derived or truck chassis platforms depending on operational requirements. The hydraulic tipping body discharges quickly and cleanly, reducing turnaround times at the tip or transfer station.

Vanadam sources, specifies and manages the full conversion of cage tipper vehicles from a trusted network of UK bodybuilders and conversion specialists. Whether you need a single unit for a landscaping crew or a multi-vehicle fleet programme, we handle every stage through one dedicated account manager.

Related vehicles include our tipper vans for lighter-duty applications and dropside vans where flat-bed access is the priority.

WHO USES CAGE TIPPERS

The Vehicle Of Choice
Across Key Industries.

🌿

Landscapers

Garden waste, soil, turf and green cuttings build up fast on landscaping contracts. Cage tippers carry bulk loads efficiently with a fast hydraulic tip at the end of the day.

Waste Collection

Commercial and domestic waste contractors rely on cage tippers to handle high-volume mixed loads, recyclables and bagged waste with a swift tip turnaround.

🌳

Tree Surgeons

Bulky timber, branch cuttings and chipped material need volume above all else. The mesh cage sides keep lightweight loads contained while the tipper body clears them in seconds.

🏛

Local Councils

Municipal green waste rounds, park clearances and street cleansing teams run cage tippers as a core fleet asset where volume and daily cycle times are critical.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Cage Tipper
FAQs.

What is the difference between a cage tipper and a standard tipper?

A cage tipper has a fixed or removable mesh cage fitted to the top of the tipper body, significantly increasing load volume without a proportional weight increase. This makes them ideal for bulky, low-density loads such as green waste, garden cuttings, recycled materials and mixed landscaping debris where volume is the limiting factor rather than weight.

What GVW ratings are cage tippers available in?

Vanadam sources cage tippers from 3.5 tonnes GVW, driveable on a standard car licence, up to 7.5 tonnes which requires a Category C1 licence. The right GVW depends on your typical payload, load density and any access or weight restriction requirements on your routes or sites.

Can cage heights and body dimensions be specified to our requirements?

Yes. Cage heights, body length, floor construction and access panel configurations can all be specified at the point of order. Whether you need a modest extension cage for a van-derived tipper or a full high-sided body on a 7.5t chassis, we work with bodybuilders who build to your dimensions.

Do you supply cage tippers for single units or fleet programmes?

Both. Vanadam provides the same managed service whether you need one cage tipper for a small landscaping business or a fleet replacement programme for a waste contractor with dozens of vehicles. Fleet orders benefit from phased delivery scheduling and consistent specification across the programme.

What safety equipment is included or available?

Amber beacon systems, Chapter 8 chevron safety markings, rear-view camera systems and appropriate lighting can all be specified as part of the conversion. For vehicles operating on public roads or near highways, we advise on appropriate safety fit-out as part of the specification process.

How does Vanadam’s cage tipper service compare to buying direct from a dealer?

Buying direct means coordinating base vehicle sourcing, bodybuilder relationships, specification sign-off, compliance checks and delivery yourself. Vanadam manages the entire process through one account manager, giving you a single point of accountability and access to our established supplier network — typically resulting in faster lead times and a vehicle built precisely to your needs.
