Plan Send truck hire with SDVH Surrey
Emptying a skip-style load of rubble near Send, or shifting bagged sand and bricks that need lifting rather than tipping? A tipper suits material that pours or slides off the bed, while a dropside gives you a lowered side for hand-loading heavier or boxed items. Describe the job and we'll talk through the right class.

Specify the load, sites and commercial use
A few practical questions usually settle whether a tipper or dropside, and which weight class, fits the job.
A tipper is built to raise its bed and pour material out, while a dropside relies on a lowered side for hand-loading and unloading by hand or machine.
Give us an honest estimate of the total material weight, since the truck's weight class has to cover the bodywork as well as everything loaded onto it.
Confirm the licence category your driver holds before booking, as the 18, 26 and 44 tonne classes also need the applicable operator credentials in place.
Uneven, soft or tightly enclosed loading areas can rule out tipping safely, so describe the site so we can suggest a workable body.
