Brian James Tipper, 310×160, 3500 kg

Product detailed description

The Brian James Tipper 526-3116-35-2-12 is a compact professional twin-axle tipping trailer with a gross weight of 3500 kg. With an overall width of just 1710 mm and a length of 4530 mm, the trailer is highly manoeuvrable even in confined spaces. This makes it ideal for working in towns and cities, narrow streets, courtyards, gardens, smaller construction sites, or anywhere where manoeuvring space is limited. With the side panels fitted, it provides a clear load area of approximately 3100 × 1600 mm. Once the side panels and corner posts are removed, it becomes a flat platform measuring 3200 × 1690 mm.

The Tipper is an exceptionally versatile working trailer. It is suitable for transporting loose materials such as sand, gravel, soil and construction rubble, as well as palletised goods, building materials, machinery and a wide variety of general cargo.

Tipping is powered by a high-performance electro-hydraulic unit with its own 12V battery. This model uses the Single-Ram system – one hydraulic tipping cylinder, ensuring reliable operation of the tipping mechanism even under intensive professional use.

Click & Clamp – heavy-duty steel side panels

One of the distinctive features of the Brian James Tipper range is its exceptionally robust steel side panels, approximately 50 mm thick, designed for demanding everyday professional use. Compared with conventional lightweight aluminium side panels, they provide an extremely strong construction and excellent durability when transporting building materials, machinery and loose loads. The distinctive coloured strip on the side panels is available in five finishes: yellow, red, blue, anthracite or black.

The Click & Clamp system uses self-adjusting locking posts in combination with a side-panel clamping system. This increases the rigidity of the entire structure while reducing unwanted movement and rattling of the side panels during transport.

The side panels and posts can be completely removed, quickly converting the trailer into a flat platform measuring 3200 × 1690 mm. With the side panels installed, the clear usable load area is approximately 3100 × 1600 mm. This design significantly expands the trailer's versatility, for example when transporting pallets, building materials, machinery or oversized loads.

2-Way Tailgate – dual-function rear tailgate

The standard rear tailgate uses the 2-Way Tailgate system. It can be folded down in the conventional way for normal loading and unloading, or secured at the top using the mechanism in the rear posts and used as a swinging tailgate for convenient and controlled discharge of loose materials.

As an option, the trailer can also be equipped with a split rear tailgate that opens sideways like container doors, making it easier to handle different types of cargo.

Professional construction and load bed

The Brian James Tipper is designed for demanding professional use. A highly robust reinforced main chassis and load bed are standard. Heavy-duty integrated lashing points in the floor and along the sides of the chassis allow transported loads, construction machinery and other equipment to be secured safely.

The electro-hydraulic system battery features maintenance charging from the towing vehicle. The lockable front storage box protects the electro-hydraulic unit, battery and related equipment, including the charger and emergency power cables.

Transporting mini excavators and construction machinery

The Tipper can be equipped with heavy-duty Brian James steel loading ramps for transporting mini excavators, skid-steer loaders, garden machinery and other working equipment. The ramps are available in two lengths – 1800 mm and 2350 mm.

The shorter 1800 mm ramps provide an approach angle of approximately 24°, while the longer 2350 mm ramps reduce the approach angle to approximately 18°. The longer version is therefore particularly suitable for machinery with lower ground clearance or a less favourable approach angle.

The maximum permitted weight of the vehicle being loaded depends on the length of the ramps and the vehicle wheelbase, or the contact length of the tracks. During loading, the ramps are securely connected to the trailer. After use, they can be stored and secured against unwanted movement in the integrated compartments underneath the load bed.

For safer loading of heavier machinery, the trailer can also be equipped with rear support legs. These stabilise the rear of the trailer while machinery is being loaded and also reduce excessive loads on the overrun brake and drawbar during loading.

Thanks to the combination of compact overall dimensions, an exceptionally high payload of 2528 kg and excellent manoeuvrability, together with its tipping body and removable side panels, the Brian James Tipper 3116 is an ideal professional working trailer, particularly where high transport capacity is required but space for access and manoeuvring is limited.
