Combi
One vehicle – two functions
The combi body combines the functions of a tipper and a tractor unit, offering exceptional versatility and operational flexibility. It is equipped with a specialized quick-release system for the tipping body and hydraulic cylinder, enabling rapid reconfiguration of the vehicle. This innovative solution allows for seamless conversion from a tipper truck into a tractor unit, ready to work with various types of semi-trailers. Combi bodies are the perfect solution for companies seeking cost-efficiency and adaptability in response to changing market demands.
Function 1: TIPPER
A robust steel body, ideally suited for transporting bulk materials such as gravel, debris, sand, or construction aggregates. The design enables fast loading and secure unloading, maximizing operational efficiency.
Key features
- Tipper body made from highly wear-resistant HB 450 or HB 500 steel for long-lasting durability
- The body and tipping cylinder can be detached and remain independently supported on four integrated support legs, allowing for safe and convenient storage without additional bracing
- Rear tailgate configurations available: hinge-mounted swing gate or hydraulically lifted version, plus a 400 mm high hydraulically operated lower flap suitable for heavy-duty use
- Tipping system driven by a front-mounted NUMMI PRO hydraulic cylinder, enabling fast and efficient tipping cycles
- Hydraulic oil tank capacity and pump specifications tailored precisely to customer requirements for optimized performance
- Chassis can be fitted with a VBG coupling system, ensuring reliable and safe connection to various trailer types, increasing overall vehicle flexibility and usability
Function 2: TRACTOR UNIT
Once the tipper body is removed, the vehicle becomes a powerful and efficient tractor unit, compatible with a wide range of semi-trailers and suitable for long-distance freight transport.
ISTRAIL combi systems can be equipped with fifth wheels rated for 20 or 23 tonnes, either in a fixed-mounted configuration or on a sliding mounting plate:
- Fixed mounting provides maximum strength and stability, ideal for demanding transport tasks requiring high reliability
- Sliding plate enables adjustment of the fifth wheel position relative to the axles, allowing for optimized weight distribution and axle load balancing
The combi body is a cost-effective and adaptable solution, allowing your fleet to quickly respond to shifting transport requirements. Whether you need a rugged tipper for construction work or a tractor unit for haulage, the ISTRAIL combi system is engineered to meet the challenge.
