Oh, and that
no but it holds everything you need to take roll bar off, direct mount a bucket, grease gun, chain, and of course, a 10mm spanner for the two bolts that hold it on if you need zero tail swingLooks like good value at 3.5k

Nah but with ally tipper body (sides and chassis) she can't be too bad.

The 2.3 are belt and chain for top end. Some swap them some dont. I never have.
You think yours is big, ive got an 11ft 2in tipper on order with a 2ft tool box. But with a 4100 wb chassis to keep the back axle in right position...most only have a 3750 wb and that just doesnt work right but they just see cost of the longer wb.

A old LDV can tip 5 ton, the handbrake wouldn't hold it on the bit of a ramp, but would tip
How do I know it was 5t? I loaded 20ton of tarmac on it in 4 loads. One of the an old boss`s 8 wheelers came back with a load, and the boss had a road up to a farm shed, but couldn't get the wagon there.
If that's the case, if not too bad.

So a tipper should legally carry about 1.2?

Reversing then slamming on hard whilst holding the tipper switch can help to get things moving when ‘loaded’! (and can also get the front wheels airborne....)

Anything modern has a right tantrum if you try to do anything with the handbreak off
And they are good load capacitys
I took an 11 plate transit in for tarmac the other day big old lock box up the front but empty left me with 800kgs capacity
New shape Double cab with tools in is about 700kg left
