Match the Body to Your Chipping Operation

Chip Containment

Review the chipper discharge height and direction, body opening and containment requirements. Discuss the load you expect between disposal stops.

Unloading & Access

Plan rear-door operation, dumping clearance and disposal-site access. Body dimensions and unloading equipment need to work with the selected chassis.

Tools & Towing

Account for saws, fuel containers, crew gear and any trailer. Tool compartments and towing equipment must be included in the completed vehicle plan.

Review the Finished Truck

A body with more volume does not automatically allow more weight. Wet material, debris and installed equipment can change the load substantially. Review the expected loaded condition, applicable axle limits and available payload for the specific chassis and body.

We can check vehicles at the dealership and discuss a compatible body when installation is needed. Confirm chassis availability, equipment sourcing and the expected ready-for-work date separately.

What to Include in Your Request

  • Chipper model and discharge arrangement
  • Typical material and expected loaded weight
  • Body volume and unloading method
  • Tool-storage and crew requirements
  • Trailer specifications and loaded weight

Planning Questions

How is a chip body different from a general dump body?

A chip body is planned around containing and hauling chipped tree material. Opening design, containment, body volume and chipper compatibility can differ from a general-purpose dump setup. Review the actual body specification.

Can I check current availability before visiting?

Yes. Send your vehicle and body requirements or call. We will distinguish a completed truck from a chassis that still needs equipment or body installation.
