OVERVIEW

Self-Loading Capability.
No Extra Resource Required.

A tipper grab vehicle combines the tipping body of a conventional tipper truck with a crane or Hiab-mounted grab arm, giving the operator the ability to load loose materials independently without requiring a separate loading machine on site. This self-loading capability significantly reduces operational costs and makes the vehicle productive in locations where plant access is restricted.

Vanadam sources, specifies and manages the complete build of tipper grab vehicles across the weight range. Whether the application is aggregate delivery, soil removal, demolition waste clearance or civil engineering groundworks, we identify the right crane rating, grab capacity and body configuration for your workload.

Every vehicle is managed through one account manager from initial specification through to delivery, with quality and compliance overseen throughout the conversion process.

WHO USES TIPPER GRAB VEHICLES

The Workhorse For
Demanding Industries.

🏗

Demolition

Self-loading grab capability is essential for demolition contractors clearing rubble, structural waste and mixed debris from sites without additional plant.

Waste Management

Waste operators use tipper grabs for collecting and transporting loose waste, green waste, construction and demolition materials and skip-free bulk collections.

👑

Aggregate Suppliers

Stone, sand and gravel suppliers use tipper grabs to deliver and self-load aggregates at customer sites where a grab loader would not otherwise be present.

Civil Engineering

Civil contractors use tipper grabs for muck away, soil removal, drainage aggregate laying and groundworks where independent loading reduces programme time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Tipper Grab
FAQs.

What is a tipper grab vehicle?

A tipper grab vehicle is a tipper truck fitted with a hydraulic crane and grab attachment, typically a Hiab or knuckle boom crane, which allows the vehicle to self-load loose materials such as aggregates, soil, rubble and demolition waste without requiring a separate loading machine. This makes the vehicle independently productive on sites where plant access is limited or where a separate loader would not be cost effective.

What materials can a tipper grab handle?

Tipper grabs are used for a wide range of loose materials including aggregates, sand, gravel, topsoil, subsoil, demolition rubble, mixed construction waste, green waste and bulk recycled materials. The grab type is selected to match the material, with clamshell grabs suited to loose material and grapple grabs better suited to mixed demolition waste.

What GVW options are available?

Tipper grab vehicles are available from 7.5 tonnes through to 32 tonnes GVW. The appropriate weight depends on the payload requirement, the crane rating needed and where the vehicle will be operating. We assess the right GVW at specification stage to ensure payload is not compromised by the crane installation.

Can the crane be operated remotely?

Yes. Remote control crane operation is available and is particularly useful where the operator needs to position away from the cab for visibility and safety, or when working in confined areas. Radio remote systems are a common fitment on tipper grab vehicles for waste and demolition applications.

How long does a tipper grab conversion take?

Build times typically range from 10 to 18 weeks depending on GVW, crane specification and converter availability. Lead times are confirmed at enquiry stage once the specification is agreed and base vehicle availability is established.

Do you supply for single vehicles or fleet programmes?

Both. Whether you need one tipper grab or a fleet replacement programme with phased delivery, Vanadam provides the same structured managed service with a single account manager coordinating the entire process.
