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.

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.

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

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

These vehicles are used to transport and place:
- Cabins and containers
- Steelwork
- Precast concrete
- Building materials
- Timber and roofing products
- Plant and machinery

When selecting a plant truck, important considerations include:

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.

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.
