Description
Tipper lorries have been an integral part of road transport since the early days of motor vehicles. Their origins date back to horse-drawn carts, which were designed to tip by balance and gravity. For many years, these lorries were viewed as worn and poorly maintained examples of haulage, not particularly well-liked by the general public. However, they have played a crucial role in British industrial requirements, with all makes of lorries being used as tippers. This variety has made them a staple for transport enthusiasts. The types of tipper lorries have evolved over time, becoming larger and more powerful, allowing them to carry heavier loads up to 44 tonnes gross weight. Bill Reid's book features nearly 200 unpublished images, showcasing the range of tipper lorries in use today.
