An essential tool in the light construction and horticultural sectors among others, the Citroen Relay Tipper van offers the flexibility to transport a range of bulk and other loads, with the ability to tip bulk loads from the rear of the vehicle. The Citroen Relay Tipper range offers robust construction with lightweight materials to offer a long service life with a highly competitive payload. The tip trailer’s platform is formed from high tensile steel to resist denting from loads such as rock, stone and aggregate. Protective coatings are applied to all parts of the body platform to ensure durability. The load deck is completely flat, with no surface projections or crevices. A perimeter load restraint rail contains the load restraint lashing rings ensuring the load deck remains clear after tipping. The side boards are formed from double-skinned aluminium to reduce body weight and maximise payload, while the smooth finish makes them suitable for the application of customer livery. At the front of the body, the bulkhead/gantry incorporates three load lashing rails and high capacity load securing epublish, enabling a variety of loads to be secured easily. An embossed steel panel fitted to the bulkhead is designed to protect cab occupants from a shifting load, while also ensuring rearward visibility. The gantry top rail offers a 400kg capacity for over-length loads. High-yield steel is used for the full-width tailboard, which features top and bottom locks. These have been side mounted to ensure they do not interfere with the tipping discharge area. The top and bottom locks allow either “tip over” (bottom hinged) or “tip through” (top-hinged) discharge. A built-in fail-safe mechanism prevents accidental detachment of the tailboard from its hinges.
