Tipper or Roll On Roll Off equipment for recycling transport: what’s the difference?

Tipper bucket or Roll On Roll Off equipment: which alternative to choose? If you work in the recycling sector, you must have already come across this doubt related to the transport of loads.

This is because having the ideal machinery is essential in this segment, not only to avoid the loss of materials and environmental pollution, but also to ensure more efficiency in the processes and make the entire operation more profitable.

But what are the differences between the two devices? Why is it so important to make the right choice? How to guarantee the ideal supplier for my demands? Discover the answers to these questions throughout this article.

How are the tipper bucket and Roll on Roll Off equipment different?

As you may already know, trucks intended for the transport of materials for recycling must have a metallic and closed body. This prevents the loss of load segments and still protects them against the actions of rain and sun.

It is also important that there is a good tipping system, so that materials are unloaded quickly and safely. It must be robust, aligned to the weights of the loads and be easy to operate, so that the process flows in the best way.

A tipping bucket was developed precisely with these characteristics, being ideal for the recycling sector. However, it is fixed to the truck. That is, its use is limited to one unit per vehicle.

The Roll On Roll Off equipment works in a similar way. The difference is that it can be coupled and uncoupled in different vehicles, which favors its use in different distribution and collection locations.

So whether you have a small fleet, just one truck, or have a small footprint, the bucket can meet your needs.

On the other hand, if you need more scope, economy and flexibility for your vehicles, the ideal is to opt for the Roll On solution.

Why is it important to choose the right equipment for the recycling industry?

With a good tipping bucket, you avoid losses and ensure that the action of bad weather does not affect the transported materials. However, without discretion in your choice, you can have big losses in financial and performance terms.

After all, if you have a lot of demand for your fleet, a Roll On Roll Off equipment provides much more benefits. That’s because, its flexibility of use avoids waste with stopped trucks. In some cases, it even reduces costs in acquiring new vehicles.

In addition, if necessary, it allows the use of other types of accessories, such as boards. Not to mention that the cost of a Roll On box is less than half that of a fixed tipper.

Considering that a stopped bucket waiting for loading represents much lower costs than an idle truck, the Roll On Roll Off equipment also presents great viability.

Another important point is that loading on devices (container, body, bucket or tank, for example) can be done with it on the ground. So, while you carry one device, the truck can continue carrying another.

To ensure maximum use of your fleet, the body type can be changed in less than 8 minutes. The average charging time is just 2 minutes. This is synonymous with a more agile, profitable operation aligned with your needs.
