Popular 32 Tonne Truck Body Types

The strength and flexibility of a four-axle chassis make it suitable for a wide range of specialist bodies.

32 Tonne Tipper Trucks

A 32 tonne tipper truck is a proven choice for aggregates, muck away, demolition, groundworks, highways and construction.

Typically built on an 8x4 chassis, these trucks can be fitted with steel or alloy tipping bodies depending on the intended load. Steel bodies provide durability for heavy, abrasive or impact-prone materials, while lighter body designs can help maximise payload.

Popular features can include:

• Steel or alloy tipper body
• Electric sheeting system
• Automatic tailgate
• On-board weighing equipment
• Reversing and side cameras
• Work lights and beacons
• Underbody protection
• Chapter 8 markings
• FORS and CLOCS equipment
• Day cab or sleeper cab

MV Commercial offers 32 tonne tippers for sale, hire and lease, with new and used vehicles available depending on current stock.

32 Tonne Tipper Grab Trucks

A 32 tonne tipper grab combines a tipping body with a hydraulic crane and grab. This enables one vehicle to collect, load, transport and tip loose materials without relying on separate loading machinery.

Tipper grabs are widely used by groundworks, utilities, waste, construction and highways operators to handle:

• Soil and spoil
• Hardcore
• Aggregates
• Rubble
• Green waste
• Highway materials
• Utility excavation waste
• Construction materials

Crane reach, lifting performance, grab type and body capacity must all be balanced against the available payload. MV Commercial can help specify the chassis, body, crane and stabiliser configuration around the work you undertake.

32 Tonne Hookloader Trucks

A 32 tonne hookloader provides a flexible platform for collecting and transporting interchangeable containers.

Commonly built on an 8x4 chassis, hookloaders are used across waste management, recycling, demolition, construction and local authority fleets. Their ability to work with multiple container types allows one truck to support several different applications.

Available features can include:

• Multilift or Hyva hookloading equipment
• Automatic sheeting systems
• Front and rear weighing systems
• Drawbar capability
• Reversing cameras
• Additional work lights
• Tool and equipment storage
• Waste and site safety equipment

32 Tonne Crane Trucks

A 32 tonne crane truck combines heavy rigid transport capacity with the ability to load and unload independently.

Depending on the specification, the crane can be mounted behind the cab or at the rear of the body. The correct layout will depend on the intended load, required outreach, lifting capacity, site access and available payload.

These vehicles are used to transport and place:

• Cabins and containers
• Steelwork
• Precast concrete
• Building materials
• Timber and roofing products
• Plant and machinery
• Utilities equipment
• Specialist or awkward loads

MV Commercial designs and builds specialist crane trucks through its Grantham manufacturing facilities, bringing together engineering, fabrication, crane installation, body building, paint, livery and final preparation.

32 Tonne Plant Trucks and Beavertails

A 32 tonne plant truck provides a stable platform for transporting excavators, access equipment, rollers and other machinery.

Body options can include hydraulic beavertails, fixed beavertails and ramps. Vehicles may also be fitted with a crane where the operator needs to lift attachments, equipment or additional materials.

When selecting a plant truck, important considerations include:

• Required deck length
• Carrying capacity
• Ramp angle
• Hydraulic ramp operation
• Plant dimensions
• Loading clearance
• Fall arrest systems
• Load restraint points
• Tool and chain storage
• Crane requirements

32 Tonne Cheesewedge Trucks

A 32 tonne cheesewedge is a specialist plant and machinery transporter with a sloping rear body and hydraulic loading ramps.

These trucks are particularly useful for moving access platforms, forklifts, compact plant and machinery. They can be built with or without a crane and specified with storage, lighting, safety rails and fall protection systems.

32 Tonne Cabin Spec Trucks

A 32 tonne cabin spec truck is designed for transporting cabins, containers and other large structures.

These specialist crane trucks can feature a flat platform body, heavy-duty lorry-mounted crane, stabiliser legs and storage for chains, lifting equipment and crane pads. The truck’s layout must be carefully engineered to provide the required combination of payload, stability, reach and usable deck space.

DAF 32 Tonne Trucks

DAF trucks are widely used across the UK construction, waste and specialist transport sectors.

• On-road and off-road requirements
• Engine power and torque
• Day cab or sleeper cab
• Body weight and dimensions
• Required legal payload
• Crane weight and lifting capacity
• Stabiliser configuration
• Turning circle and site access

32 Tonne Truck Payload

The term “32 tonne truck” refers to the vehicle’s maximum gross weight, not the amount of material or equipment it can carry.

The legal payload is calculated after accounting for the weight of the chassis, cab, body, fuel, driver, crane, stabilisers, ramps and other fitted equipment. A crane truck or tipper grab will normally have a lower payload than a simpler tipper body because of the additional equipment carried.

Our team can confirm the available payload of an individual vehicle and help ensure the specification provides the right balance between carrying capacity and working capability.
