High-Tip Dumper Hire
At FESS Hire, we provide high-tip dumper hire for sites where you need to tip into skips, containers or over barriers. High-tip dumpers are often used on constrained or urban sites where conventional tipping at ground level isn’t practical.
Our engineer-led team will match a suitable high-tip dumper to your job and coordinate delivery with your excavators and other plant. Because we work with multiple hire partners, exact makes and models may vary, but every machine will fall within the specification ranges below.

Key Features of Our High-Tip Dumper Hire
- Tipping into skips and bins
Designed so you can tip directly into skips, muck bins, trailers and over low barriers, reducing double-handling and extra plant. - Ideal for tight/urban sites
Useful where stockpiling on the ground is restricted by space, neighbours or site rules. - Versatile with smaller excavators
Pairs well with micro and mini excavators, especially on refurbishment sites and enclosed compounds. - Reduces manual handling
Minimises wheelbarrowing and manual shovelling into skips or containers.
Safety Features
High-tip dumpers supplied through FESS Hire typically include:
- ROPS / FOPS frames and seatbelts for operator safety.
- Interlocks for high-tip function to ensure controlled lifting and tipping.
- Stability controls and guidance to support safe operation within rated limits.
- Daily-check points and visible inspection items for pre-use checks.
We can also signpost to operator training, especially where high-tip dumpers are working close to footways, public areas or elevated edges.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose a high-tip dumper instead of a standard dumper?
Choose a high-tip dumper when you need to tip into skips, containers or over obstacles and ground-level tipping isn’t practical or permitted.
How do I know if the tip height is enough for my skip or bin?
Tell us the height of the skip/bay lip and where the dumper will be positioned. We’ll confirm whether the available high-tip models can reach safely.
Are high-tip dumpers less stable than standard dumpers?
When used correctly and within rated limits on suitable ground, they are designed to be stable. Extra care is needed when the skip is raised – operators must follow training and site rules.
Do you hire to domestic customers?
FESS Hire is set up primarily for trade and commercial customers. If you’re unsure whether your organisation is eligible, our team can advise.
