...just needs a guide to volumes for cart-away!

6 wheelers normally shift 7m³ of muck
8 wheelers do 9m³
Artics can move 11m³

Good shout Tony....

Tonnages (typical)

6 wheeler - 16t

8 Wheeler 20.5t

Artic - 27t

A bulk (artic) tipper tipped up full of tarmac and a single chute is a scary sight.........

Fortunately we sold our bulk trailer back along.
