Anybody in the haulage trade have any experience with one of these?

You mean the short tipper / flat / livestock boxes that fit over the 5th wheel of an artic unit to make a short rigid?

Personally I can see a limit usefulness for the tipper (and maybe the skip loader)
For me the flat and livestock box are too short, too high up and too compromised
Or am I missing something?

Yes JP, looking at a particular long term job moving some bulk material into a very tight warehouse on a weekly basis, no room to get an 8 wheeler in so this is the only way I can think to do it. Already run an articulated tipper into the same place so could combine the 2 jobs with one tractor unit if they work how I think they work. Do you have any experience of them, or is there anything similar on the market? Thanks.

I googled those images. There seems to be other makes now although I thought it was a Northern Irish manufacturer concept
I have no direct experience with them but was well aware of them
You might be as well to join and post same on trucknetUK forum .........

Friend has one on a twin drive tractor unit which hauls his swing shovels and kit on a artic lowloader but then uses a Jac a box tipper for stone / dirt etc. Payload is 10/11 tonnes . Works well.

I have yet to understand how they fix to the tractor unit and if you can use a normal trailer with the same tractor unit without taking off any type of interface for the J-A-B. JP, do you know of any other manufacturers of this type of kit?

It's a shame their website is down (or dead) as technical info is hard / impossible to find - we do some work in Ireland and I loath calling them as I can't understand what they are saying most of the time (bloody ignorant of me I know but I just can get my head around the accent

Reckon your best bet is finding an operator via Trucknet and PM'ing them TBHIt's a shame their website is down (or dead) as technical info is hard / impossible to find - we do some work in Ireland and I loath calling them as I can't understand what they are saying most of the time (bloody ignorant of me I know but I just can get my head around the accent

Look up beallagri.com. I think this is made where the jak a box was made. Chap that made the jak a box is in bad health but perhaps still in the background.

Presume that like all truck bodywork it needs IVA approval with the VCA now. Have any been made in the last year?

The lorry brother drives has one, He uses it to move a loading shovel. They must of had it 7 or 8 years now and apart from a lick of paint, no problems.

Their are brackets which attach to the chassis, I cannot remember if they were bolted or welded. then the j a b bolts to that I think it was only 4 bolts. it only take 5mins to drop on and off, then you can pull a trailer as normal

There are a couple of them round us, if youv got a tractor unit and want a small rigid sometimes it's ideal , I made a flat bed one out of a step frame neck , it was handy but I never really used it that much,
They go better on a midlift than a tag axle !

I have a red tipper back for a jak-a-box, its just over 13ft by 8ft very good condition floor good etc aluminium on sides 3 tarmac doors on the back, roll over sheet etc. how much is it roughly worth? and is anyone interested in it?
I don't have the truck part to go with it (the ram and chassis part) or the landing legs.
there's a blue one for sale at https://www.donedeal.co.uk/plantmac...tar-body-daf-scania-volvo-hino-tipper/9121757 for £3250 and a flat on ebay for £3250 I would say my tipper is in better nick than the blue one but my paint is worse. any information appreciated.
