Recommended 3.5T Tipper and cages for Waste removal

[Itsmebxb]

Hello everyone. I’ve got about £6k to buy a little 3.5 Tipper van, I’m wanting to buy it for waste removal. Can anyone recommend a good van for this, i’m located in kent. Something that can take on mileage well with regular maintenance. And what are good cage bodies (seperate budget) - also if anyones in this industry and Tips or advice would be massively appreciated. Cheers people

Your budget is very low. Just have a look on market place and auto trader. Better to buy one with a cage already as getting one built will eat into your budget a lot. Decide if you want volume or weight capacity as priority.
If you are taking heavy stuff then choose RWD. If you want volume then a LWB better. If you want to fit in tight spaces then go Japanese. Unless you are maintaining it yourself then go speak to your garage/mechanic and buy what he likes to look after .
