Thwaites 3 Tonne Front Tip

The Thwaites 3 tonne, Stage V dumpers are manufactured with contractors and hirers in mind – ensuring operator safety, reducing risk on site and improving performance. These machines are available in a range of configurations to best suit your needs:

  • Power Swivel
  • Front Tip
  • Hydrostatic Transmission
  • NEW Electric Drive

Diesel machines are powered by a 18.1kW Yanmar engine, delivering 107 Nm max torque via an easy-to-use hydrostatic transmission. Alternatively choose the all-new 48V Electric drive pack which uses four maintenance-free, long-life, lithium-ion (dry cell) batteries rated at 22kWh. The battery pack drives two highly efficient electric motors (one for traction, one for the hydraulic services) giving the operator the control and manoeuvrability expected from a Thwaites dumper. 

These robust and reliable machines have a fully welded 6 mm steel plate skip with reinforced box section fitted to the mouth and sides to minimise skip damage. Easy to service and maintain with market leading residuals.

Standard equipment includes a Spring Applied Hydraulic Release (SAHR) Handbrake, ROPS frame, towing bracket, LED beacons and a reverse alarm.

Safe, compliant and competitive.
