Tippers
A Tradition of Innovation and Quality
Introducing Charlton
Whilst Thompsons offers a full range of standard products, there are always going to be customers working in particular applications that might need something even more focused and specialist.
Thompsons Group partner Charlton Bodies of Dover produces not just its own range of unique tipper bodies, but a wide variety of individually built and bespoke bodies as well. Charlton has an enviable track record for both the quality of its products and its close attention to delivering exactly the products its customers want.
Superlite
Top Payload, Top Performance
The Charlton SuperLite is exactly that – by common consent one of the lightest all-steel tipper bodies currently available.
Smooth, one-piece Hardox sides paired with a gently curved floor show that this a body designed for the clean, easy discharge of all types of loads, from sticky soil to dry aggregates. Lighter weight, top quality materials and advanced construction techniques mean that
SuperLite can typically offer 19.5t payload with the latest 8×4 chassis. SuperLite is therefore the ideal body for multi-purpose tipping where strength, durability and reliability translate into the key benefits of versatility, practicality and minimal whole life costs.
SuperLite – Productivity Assured
Grablite
Everything You Want – With a Crane
GrabLite is similar to SuperLite, but is specifically focused on working with a crane. As such, it’s the ideal body for utility and highways work in urban environments.
GrabLite differs from SuperLite in two key ways. First, it has flat floor that makes emptying the body with a crane and clamshell bucket so much easier. Second, GrabLite is offered with a reduced height headboard so that the crane operator – working from a gantry behind the cab – can more easily see into the working loadspace.
GrabLite’s crane package also includes stability legs as standard, with everything being supplied, fitted and tested by ourselves before delivery. Whether for 32 or 26t operation, GrabLite is ready for work right from delivery.

Quarry Master
The Heavy Duty Hero
Quarrymaster is Charlton’s premier tipper body. A double – skinned design built in top quality Hardox, Quarrymaster handles everything with ease.
This is the body for really arduous jobs such as muckaway, site work, removing demolition spoil and transporting materials for recycling. Yet for all its built-in strength, rigidity and durability, it also offers a class-leading payload as well.
Quarrymaster is offered with a full range of tailgates, sheeting systems and tipping gears. Whatever combination you prefer, Quarrymaster is all the tipper body you will ever need.
