Standard UK vehicle specifications — payload varies by body type and equipment

Vehicle Type Type Wheels GVW Payload Length Reach Access Notes

Tipper: Requires loading with a digger or conveyor. Best for large volumes with site machinery available.

Grab lorry: Self-loading with crane — can collect/deliver without needing machinery on site. Payload is lower due to crane weight. Ideal for muck away and deliveries to sites without plant.
