Loose Loads

Loose Tipped Loads

For when a little is not enough...

If you are wanting a large amount of aggregate or slate, it may be more cost effective to have a loose tipped load delivered. We are happy to provide you with a quote on any of our products as this method of delivery can sometimes work out cheaper. 

We have several different sized vehicles at our disposal in case access is an issue. Loose loads are made by large heavy vehicles (sometimes articulated) and need a lot of space and a suitable flat, level and solid ground to tip. A full vehicle can weigh up to 44 tonnes and you must ensure the vehicle can access your site. If a vehicle cannot gain access and make a delivery you will be required to pay the cost of transport. This would include the delivery and return charges so please make sure you are 100% certain access is possible.

There are several options available:                           

Articulated Tippers - These can carry 29 tonnes and weigh
a total of 44 tonnes. Any deliveries made with this vehicle require good level hard ground and good access as they are approx 14.2 metres long.

Rigid Tippers - these vary in size and capacity.  

20 tonne tippers - these are typically 9.8 metres in length and weigh 32 tonne in total.

16 tonne tippers - these are typically 8.2 metres in length and weigh 26 tonnes in total. 

If taking delivery of a loose tipped load, we do need to ensure someone is at home on the day of the delivery.

So if you need about 20 bulk bags, it may be more cost effective to get a loose tipped load.
