1T Hi Tip Dumper (Thwaites) Hire
Streamlined material handling. Power swivel or straight tip.
Thwaites 1-tonne hi-tip dumper — the workhorse of domestic and light commercial groundworks. Tips high enough to load skips and tall-sided trailers without ramp arrangements.
The Thwaites 1-tonne hi-tip dumper is one of the most useful bits of kit on any groundworks site. The hi-tip function raises the skip high enough to discharge directly into standard builder’s skips and truck beds — no ramps, no double-handling.
Available in both Hi Tip and Power Swivel configurations. Hi Tip for straight-line tipping into skips; Power Swivel for 180-degree rotating skip so you can dump to either side without manoeuvring the machine. Both options include forward controls and rollover protection.

Questions about this machine
Hi Tip raises the skip vertically and tips forward — perfect for loading skips and trucks. Power Swivel rotates the skip 180° so you can tip to either side without moving the dumper — better on congested sites.
Yes — the hi-tip version clears standard 6-yard and 8-yard builder's skips without needing to back up onto a ramp.
