Isuzu UK debuts D-Max tipper modification

MANILA: If your work consistently gets you into some serious hauling situations and heavy-duty truck work, this is a mod you’ll want ASAP.

Isuzu in the UK has announced that it will soon offer a tipper conversion for its award-winning D-Max pickup truck.

Initially available on the extended cab version, it will use a rugged "Tippadeck" bed constructed using 18mm-thick interlocking alloy floor panels. It will also have 300mm-high sideboards and tailboard made from lightweight alloy, and heavy-duty underfloor tie points.

The tailboard opens 180 degrees and features a two-way hinge assembly, which will allow it to open from the top and bottom. The spring latches on the sideboards are recessed to avoid catching on objects and the corner posts are removable to provide an open platform — perfect for loading and unloading.

A wander lead control is used to activate the electro-hydraulic power pack that lifts the body.  The tipping gear and subframe have been fully galvanized to protect them from the elements and, once raised, there’s an integral body prop and hose burst safety valve to stop the body from falling unexpectedly.  For safety reasons, a dual-tone alarm is activated when the body is raised or lowered and, rubber molded body rests have been added to prevent the tipper body clattering the frame.

To complete the tipper conversion, a powder-coated tubular gantry infilled with a protection panel has been fitted to shield the cab.

The price of conversion has not been specified but lead time to perform the modification is estimated at four weeks.
