A Little Bit About Who We Are

Our successful history

Over 30 years ago the first under-floor tipping equipment, a scissor-action linkage design for 3.5t to 7.5t GVW chassis, was designed and manufactured. As a result, the LinkTip name was formed. Customers were soon asking for the supply of bespoke bodies to compliment the tipping equipment. LinkTip went on to design and build the complete body, mounted to a suitable chassis, each being custom-made to the individual client requirement.

We were the first company to design and build the first ground level demountable equipment to suit a 3.5t GVW chassis. LinkTip are the market leaders in this size of equipment with thousands of units in service, some of which are 30 years old. We regularly refurbish the equipment in order to refit on to a second or third chassis.The unique flexibility of the system allows the bodywork to be interchanged between various chassis sizes, maximizing the operation of the fleet.

Continuing the success

Following the success of earlier products LinkTip developed the MICROPACK and LINKPACKA side loading semi-compaction refuse collection bodies suitable for vehicles from 3.5 ton to 12 ton gross vehicle weight. Further product expansion came with the BANTAM a non-HGV rear loading RCV's specifically designed for difficult access areas, fitted to a 7.5 ton gvw chassis.

Introducing roof loading and side loading

As ecological and technological advances in refuse collection developed in the late 1980s and 1990s, LinkTip responded by designing side loading binlift equipment to operate the 120 through to 1280 ltr wheeled bins. The low threshold SLIMLIFT can handle 120- 360ltr wheeled bins while the RS lift can handle the same size whilst emptying through the roof of a body. The RL lift can handle all the standard size of wheeled bins through to 1280 ltr. LinkTip has the highest range of discharge heights available in the market place.
