Mercedes make chassi suitable for tipping work right across theri range from the Unimog to the Arocs and the Atego to the Econic. That’s why there’s always a solid choice of used Mercedes tipper trucks for sale at Truckpages. The bulk of the tipper trucks that are available are 32-tonne 8 wheel Mercedes Arocs tippers – this is the ruggedised version of the Actros that has been designed for use in on and off road environments with higher ground clearances and added protection. Lighter down the weight range, Mercedes tippers become less common. A higher unladen weight than some of the competition and relative cost makes the Atego a less popular choice than an Iveco Eurocargo or DAF LF, for example. Mercedes have been pushing the benefits of their low-entry Econic for urban tipping work. Excellent five star direct vision and ease of access make the truck highly suitable – if the initial purchase price can be overcome.
The arrival of GRS Group’s latest batch of Mercedes-Benz trucks means the operator is now running the country’s biggest fleet of low-entry Econic tippers.

Based at depots in Rainham, Kent, and Bow, East London, they are currently working full-time on construction projects in Central London related to the HS2 high-speed rail link. They were chosen for the unrivalled field of view offered from the driver’s seat, a key factor in…

If you operate more than a dozen 8x4 mixer chassis successfully, pleased with the vehicles and support from the local dealer, it makes sense to buy similar trucks to use in a tipping role. This is the thought process used by the truck buyers at Cornish operator Maen Karne. The company has taken delivery of its first 8x4 tipper from Mercedes from Dealer City West Commercials to bolster their fleet of 300 trucks. The aggregates, concrete and bulk haulage specialist has already been deeply impressed by the performance of its 13 Mercedes-Benz mixer chassis, and by the high-quality support from…
