£5790 inc vat all boxes ticked (including steel ramps) in 2018.
They’ve not far off doubled in price since then!

In the market now for a trailer myself, I'm looking at TT3017, I don't see a better option. Possibly the tt3621.... but is massive and I'm almost certainly going to overload, if anyone has pearls of wisdom for buying trailers - I'm all ears!

I think Nugent are the king of tipping trailers personally. But pricey and quite heavy.
Bateson make a very nice 12x6 triple axle tipper that isn't too heavy and if your after a lower deck height their tipper is the same deck height as their flat beds.

I got quoted £3595 plus vat in Feb 2020 - still kick myself to this day for not bothering with it!

It's painful.... I'm going to struggle forking out 6 - 7 k but that's what they cost now sadly. I'm suprised the Chinese haven't got into the market

Plywood deck on the bateson puts me off a bit, the nugent looks lovely, hardened steel floor would cope better than aluminium you get on the ifors, and the suspension looks interesting.... it's leaf springs with some kind of dampener. Gonna be pricey though

The tt3017 is a great size trailer. It will happily carry a 2.6t machine 
or 4 bulk bags or a bundle of 3m soil pipe. 4.8m timber fits nicely in the centre of the trailer sat on head board and tail board. 6m soil pipe sat on the head board with a packer will clear pickup truck bed. Dowsides are the ramps are poorly designed and design means its difficult to get wheel barrows under the back even with ramps under the trailer.

I think that's more important nowadays, a company that actually listens to what you want and makes it to suit rather than us buying a general product and making it suit.Bateson will add what you want. Probably the best trailer company for adapting their range to your needs
Obviously it's not the cheaper outlay but worth is in it been what you want to suit your needs.
I'm talking generally not just trailers.

It is annoying you can’t get barrows under tipped Ifor unless you back into onto blocks etc especially belle warrior barrows etcThe tt3017 is a great size trailer. It will happily carry a 2.6t machine

Even backing onto block it isn't ideal.
I did see an Irish firm that had a wedge they put in the back and extended sides so it essentially tipped over the top of the tailgate.
I think if a company came up with a way of tipping higher and putting chutes on their tipper trailer they would be onto a winner

Looking at all the offerings I'm definitely leaning nugent at the minute purely on the product itself, specifically the steel bed with no joins, the dampened leaf springs, internal lashing points that fold into the bed, and the single side board (as opposed to 2 parts and a pillar) make me think its worth trying. Still like ifor particularly due to being easy to re sell and that is a known quantity tried and tested

It's easily done, but 3.5t tipping trailers are heavy enough as it is. And elsewhere in this thread, you have multiple people referencing low load heights as a selling point.

I guess it depends what you want from your tipper. By their nature they tend to be pretty multi purpose and so I'd prefer a lower height for putting machines on too.
