About Chipper Trucks

Chipper trucks are cab and chassis trucks that have been upfitted with a tipping, semi-enclosed chip box. Municipalities, utility companies, and other entities use them to haul away wood chips and other tree-related debris and dump it at depots or recycling centers.

Ford Super Duty F-650 Chipper Truck

A chipper truck’s chip box is generally open to the rear to receive chips thrown from a wood chipper’s chute. Once full, the chipper truck transports the wood chips where they need to go, and the truck can dump the chips out the rear of the chip box. Chipper trucks are often designed to tow a wood chipper to jobsites to break down tree branches, limbs, and smaller trunks when performing tree removal and landscaping work.

Vehicle Weight & Chip Box Capacity

Medium-duty chipper trucks with gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWRs) ranging from 6,350 to 11,800 kilograms (14,001 to 26,000 pounds) are typically equipped with chip boxes measuring from 3.4 to 4.3 metres (11 to 14 feet) in length. They can often haul approximately 7.5 to 11.5 cubic metres (10 to 15 cubic yards). Heavy-duty chipper trucks with a GVWR exceeding 11,800 kg can be equipped with tipping chip boxes that exceed 5 m (16 ft) in length and 19 cu m (25 cu y) in volume.

Chipper Truck Features

These trucks typically feature a chassis, floor, tailgate, and other components that are reinforced with heavy-duty welds, corrosion-resistant coatings, and protective bed liners to extend the truck’s service life. Additionally, nearly all chipper trucks incorporate multiple storage areas for items such as ladders, pruners, ropes, chains, and other tools and materials.

You’ll also often find chipper trucks equipped with air brakes, trailer brake controllers, push-button dumping controls, strobe and marker lights, and tailgates with safety latch systems. Some chipper trucks even include a chip box with a removable roof for use in other kinds of work.
