Mercedes Sprinter Kipper kopen

What should you check on a used Sprinter tipper?

First check the hydraulics: let the load bed tip all the way and watch for jerky movements or leaks at the tipping cylinder. Inspect the load bed itself for rust and dents, especially at the bottom near the hinge points and the edge where the bed meets the chassis – that's where dirt and moisture build up fastest. Also check the floor plate for wear and the operation of any side panels or a tailgate. Ask for the maintenance book: a tipper is often loaded more heavily than a regular van, so regular maintenance of brakes, tyres and suspension is extra important. Finally, test the PTO or power take-off control if fitted.

Which configuration suits your work?

A Sprinter tipper with a single cab offers the largest load bed and is the best choice if you mainly transport materials. If you regularly need to bring a crew on site, a double cab is more practical, at the cost of some load space. Also pay attention to the permitted payload: versions up to 3,500 kg can be driven with a category B licence, while heavier variants from around 3,501 kg require a category C licence and code 95. For earthmoving and rubble removal, a longer wheelbase with higher side panels is often more practical than a short tipper.

Buying or Financial Lease: which is smarter?

Paying cash means no monthly payments and full ownership, but it ties up a large amount of working capital right away. Financial Lease keeps your cash flow free for materials, staff or other investments: at Tatev Auto this is available up to 100%, with a term of up to 72 months, and it's also accessible to starters and freelancers without a long business history. Do you still have an old commercial vehicle? You can trade it in, which further reduces the purchase price or lease instalment. With a tipper, always factor in somewhat higher insurance and maintenance costs than with a closed van, due to the more intensive use.

Sprinter tipper compared with other brands

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is known for its driving comfort, dealer network and good residual value, making it a popular choice among contractors and landscapers. An Iveco Daily tipper can often be loaded with a few hundred kilos more and is slightly cheaper to buy, but has a less dense service network in the Netherlands. A Ford Transit tipper is generally the most affordable entry option, with a slightly smaller load bed. When choosing, don't just look at the purchase price, but also at payload, wheelbase and the distance to a workshop that knows your brand well.
