About tipper trailer hire in Australia

A tipper trailer does one thing a normal trailer cannot: it lifts its own bed and tips the load out. That turns a two hour shovelling job into about thirty seconds, which is why they are the trailer of choice for soil, sand, gravel, mulch, green waste and demolition rubbish. Most are hydraulic, powered off your tow vehicle or an on-board battery, and the rest use a manual winch or a tilting frame that releases when you unlatch it.

On TrailerConnect, tipper trailers rent from about $45 a day for a small 6x4 or 7x4, up to $200 for a 12x6 tandem. The middle of the market sits between $70 and $125, which is where most 8x5 and 10x5 hydraulic tippers land. Almost all of them are rated between 2 tonne and 3.5 tonne GVM, and many come with cage sides so you can carry a bulky light load like garden clippings as well as a heavy dense one like road base.

The practical reason to hire rather than buy is that a tipper is a once-or-twice-a-year trailer for most people. A landscaping project, a garden clear-out, a bathroom demolition, a few trips to the tip. Hiring one from someone nearby for a weekend costs less than the fuel and time of doing the same job by hand with a standard box trailer, and you can usually collect it within a few kilometres of home rather than driving to a depot.

Tipper Trailer hire — FAQs

Common questions about hiring a tipper trailer.

How does a tipper trailer actually work?▼
The trailer bed is hinged at the rear and lifted at the front, so the load slides out the back. Hydraulic tippers do this with a ram, powered either from your vehicle's 12V system or an on-board battery, and you operate it from a handheld remote or a switch. Manual tippers use a winch or a balanced tilting frame that you release by hand. Hydraulic is easier and handles heavier loads; manual is cheaper and perfectly fine for lighter garden work. The listing will say which one it is.
How much does tipper trailer hire cost?▼
On TrailerConnect they run from about $45 a day for a small 6x4 or 7x4 up to around $200 for a 12x6 tandem. Most 8x5 and 10x5 hydraulic tippers sit between $70 and $125 a day. Weekend and multi-day rates are usually discounted, so a two day hire rarely costs double a one day hire. Prices vary with size, tipping mechanism and load rating.
How much can I carry?▼
Most tipper trailers on the platform are rated between 2 tonne and 3.5 tonne GVM, and the payload is that figure minus the trailer's own weight. As a rough guide, a cubic metre of dry soil is about 1.3 tonne and a cubic metre of mulch is only about 0.3 tonne, so you will hit the weight limit on soil long before you fill the trailer, and hit the volume limit on mulch long before you hit the weight. Check the payload on the listing and stay under it, because an overloaded trailer is both illegal and genuinely dangerous to tow.
Do I need a special licence?▼
No. A standard Australian car licence is enough for every tipper on TrailerConnect, because licence classes are set by the vehicle you drive rather than the trailer's mass. What matters more is whether your vehicle is rated to tow the loaded weight, so check your car's towing capacity and the trailer's GVM before you book. Many tippers are tandem axle, so you will also want to be comfortable reversing something longer than a standard 6x4.
Can I take one to the tip?▼
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people hire them. Tip fees are charged by weight or volume depending on the facility, and a tipper saves you unloading by hand at the other end. Check your local council's transfer station hours and what they accept before you go, and make sure the load is covered or netted, because loose loads are an offence in every state.
