Frequently Asked Questions
Can Turnweld fabricate tipper bodies for both single and dual cab utes?
Yes, we can fabricate tipper bodies for both single‑cab and dual‑cab utes. Our steel-frame tipper bodies are designed in Australia and built to suit a wide range of ute lengths and cab configurations, ensuring that whether you have a standard single-cab or a dual-cab vehicle, our fabrication team can tailor the body accordingly.
What materials are used in tipper body fabrication?
Tipper body fabrication typically utilises strong structural steel frames, often with options for alloy trays, canopies, and toolboxes where needed—providing a durable base with lighter-weight elements for the top or side components. Our workshop can handle fabrication of steel, stainless steel, and aluminium, so the combination of materials is selected based on your needs, vehicle type, and use case.
Can you fabricate tipper bodies for all vehicle types?
Yes — we cater to a broad range of vehicle types. Whether you’re running a ute, van tray, or commercial vehicle that requires a tipper body, our experience across various fleets enables us to work with most models and configurations. That said, we continually assess the chassis, mounting points, and vehicle type beforehand to ensure the fabrication meets the required standards in fit, strength, and performance.
What is the turnaround time for a tipper body fabrication project?
Turnaround time can vary depending on the complexity of the design, vehicle type, materials selected, and current workshop load. Typically, for a standard ute requiring a steel-frame tipper body, you can expect a reasonably prompt schedule, given our efficient workflow and mobile/on-site services. We recommend contacting us early with your vehicle details so we can provide a tailored estimate.
What brands do you work with for tipper body fabrication?
We work with the most common vehicle brands used for ute and tray setups, including but not limited to Toyota, Ford, Mazda and other popular ute types—ensuring our tipper bodies are compatible and integrated adequately for those vehicles.
