Tipper trucks for sale and hire in South Africa

Updated 4 November 2026

A new tipper truck in South Africa costs roughly R 282 000 to R 609 000, depending on payload, body and chassis, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. For a price that fits your load and city, send a request on BlaBlaPrice and the AI will find current offers.

Local rules and warranties to check

Operating a side tipper truck is regulated: a South African safety guide notes that side tipper operators must complete training and hold a certificate, so ask who will drive and request proof before the handover. Vehicle rules also differ from Australia, as the Western Cape's Performance-Based Standards policy points out, so confirm that the body and axle set-up suit the roads you use.

Warranty terms depend on the brand. Isuzu advertises a standard two-year, unlimited-mileage warranty with a three-year corrosion warranty, and Hino has launched a six-year driveline warranty on trucks sold since 1 January 2025. Ask the seller which cover applies to the unit you are considering.

Season and timing

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August. A November request leaves time to compare offers and fix a delivery date before the summer months, and it is worth asking how long a unit takes to arrive in your city.

Delivery and how prices are quoted

Prices are listed in rand, payload in tonnes and body capacity in cubic metres. Ask each seller for the delivery cost to your city, since this page covers Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Gqeberha.

Buying and renting are both possible. Say which you want in your request, and if you rent, ask for the daily or monthly rate.

What to write in your request

Name the payload in tonnes, the body type (side or rear tipping), the axle configuration and the material you haul, such as sand, stone or rubble, because the material decides the body you need. Add the year and mileage you accept, the condition (new or used), your city and your budget in rand.
