What is a "tipper"?
A tipper is a type of vehicle used to transport loose materials like sand, gravel, or dirt. It has a cargo area with a lift system that allows the bed of the truck to be tilted, or "tipped," to unload the materials. This makes it easy to dump the contents at construction sites, mining areas, or other locations. Tippers are commonly used in industries like construction, mining, and landscaping due to their ability to carry and unload large amounts of material quickly.
Examples
The construction crew used a tipper to transport and dump loads of gravel at the site.
After filling the tipper with sand, the driver tilted the bed to unload it at the designated area.
