Tipping trailers built for rock, gravel and farm work
Six tipping trailers, from a 5-ton scowback for everyday farm work to an 18-ton tandem rock dumper with a 68° tip. Every one of them turns the tractor you already run into a haulage unit for gravel, rock, sand, stone, building material, veld rubbish and farm loads.

- Blast rock
- Sand & stone
- Building material
- Veld rubbish
- Manure & chicken litter

The proposition
Why a tractor tipper instead of a tipper truck
A tipper truck carries its own engine, gearbox, cab and licensing costs, and on most farms it stands idle for long stretches between loads. A Roadking tipping trailer puts the tractor you already own to work instead. There is no second engine to service, and the trailer goes wherever the tractor can pull it: into the quarry, across the lands and down farm roads.
The range splits into two families. The DB5 and DB6 are scowback tippers for mixed farm loads, from gravel and grain to manure and timber. The RD8, RD10, RD10 Tandem and RD18 are rock dumpers with Benox steel bins, heavy hydraulic tipping and braked axles, built for blast rock, gravel and construction work.
You choose the tyres to suit your ground, the colour to match your fleet and, on most models, the hitch, brakes and suspension. On-road registration and a full lights and reflector package are available on request.
