Need a side tipper designed to suit your needs? GLT side tippers can be built to handle products ranging from sand through to iron ore.
A standard coal spec 26m B-Double side tipper with 10mm aluminium floors will tare in at around 14 tonnes. Hydraulic phasing cylinders are used on both the tub and doors. Tipping cycle times can be less than 30 seconds per trailer depending on the truck hydraulics.
The highest quality parts are sourced to manufacture each GLT unit. All nuts, bolts and washers are stainless steel. Hydraulic, electrical and air lines are well protected within the chassis. Every trailer is professionally detailed before it is delivered to the customer.
All GLT trailers are laser wheel aligned prior to delivery. GLT side tippers are available in tandem, tri or quad axle configurations. We have a large range of options to customise your new side tipper. See below for some of our most popular options.

All GLT aluminium bodies are fabricated from European sourced marine grade aluminium plate. Steel bodies are fabricated from SAAB steel products. Floor, wall and door sheet thicknesses can be customised to suit the application.
GLT door side tippers use our custom composite seal with spherical bearing pivot hinge. This spec gives the trailer the ability to haul products such as mineral sand without any leaks.
Bowl style bodies are the other option we offer. Plate is rolled and pressed to suit your design requirements. The rounded sides are strong and reduce the chances of contamination build up.
End sheets are a standard flat design while the side sheet uses a pressed lower curve. The pressed lower curve increases strength and rigidity in the side wall.
Aluminium floor beams and top coamings are an exclusive extrusion belonging to GLT. These specialised extrusions add to the strength and weight savings to all GLT trailers.
All our chassis are 700 grade mechanical steel with quenched and tempered skid plates. Minor amounts 350 and 250 grade steel small profiles are used for gussets.
Each chassis is 3D modelled and laser cut. All steel work is hand welded using Miller digital pulse machines by our highly skilled tradesmen.
The tipping pivots utilise a multi-link floating design which takes stress off the chassis and tub bodies. Special nylon pads are used where the body rests on the chassis.
All edges on flanges are sanded and polished to reduce the chances of cracking and to help paint adhere to the steel.
GLT chassis are optimised for Hendrickson Intraax airbag suspension and axles. Other brands such as BPW, SAF and K-Hitch can be optioned. Subtle design changes are made to the chassis to accommodate these different suspension brands ride characteristics.
GLT trailers are designed to handle the harsh Australian conditions. The correct suspension and axle selection is one of the most important factors in the trailers’ ability to survive our unique roads.
GLT chassis are optimised for Hendrickson INTRAAX air bag suspension and Hendrickson axles. Other brands such as BPW, SAF and K-Hitch can also be equipped if requested. GLT is an authorised Hendrickson dealer which allows us to offer greater after-sales support.
Air bag suspension offers better ride quality, low tare weight and simplified ways of reading load weights. The prefered brands which we supply have passed our field testing protocol and have excellent after sales support. All trailers with air bag suspension are equipped with ball valve taps to isolate individual bags. These taps will allow you to shut off an air bag if it has an issue.
Mechanical spring suspension can be fitted to most GLT trailers. K-Hitch KHDO/KHU and FW88 are our preferred suspension models.
By far our most popular option. The tarp rolls up neat and tidy out of the way when loading. When unrolled, the tarp offers a high level of cover to protect your load. Compared to the QLD style tarp, the roll over is easier for the operator to use, reducing OH&S risks. Side drop is 300mm standard and can be increased to 600mm. A full range of colours available. Razor electronic tarp upgrade available on this tarp.
Our standard light spacing interval is 1300-1500mm. If you want more light bling then we can go as close as 300mm between lights.
A popular option. The vinyl is applied in 1400mm wide drops with a slight overlap. Each drop can be replaced if they get damaged, making it less expensive to maintain compared to paint. Select from a large range of colour options.
Dress up your radius guards with chrome dress strips. These look great and finish off the guard area nicely.
Another well-known EBS unit popular with our clients. This unit offers stability control and EBS braking. Knorr Bremse offer excellent technical aftersales support.
If safety is high on your list when operating, then you need to consider the Wabco EBS system. This electrically-controlled braking system helps to reduce the risk of serious accidents.
These special valves recognise the difference in axle load and adjust braking force.
This special lining will give the floor sheet extra protection as well as provide a slick surface to reduce friction. This style of lining will increase the chances of contamination if you are hauling different loads.
Choose from either aluminium or steel. We have a range of thicknesses to suit your needs. Wear plate can be added to the floor or walls.
Are you needing to protect your side sheets from abrasive loads? Rock sheeting will extend the life of your trailer. We use 4mm pressed plate and can be added to the sides, front sheet and door.
