Dropside Trucks

We Buy Dropside Trucks in All Conditions

A drop-side truck is designed with hinged panels, or ‘sides’, that can be dropped down or removed entirely. This makes it easier to access the cargo bed. 

These types of trucks are widely used in the UK. Our dealers often purchase from those in the landscaping and delivery industries.

One reason they’re popular is because they make it quick and convenient to load and unload materials like bricks, pallets, soil or tools. Versatile and practical, drop-side trucks are popular for transporting bulk or awkwardly shaped goods that need to be loaded by hand or using a forklift.

Are they easy to sell in the UK?

Demand for drop-side trucks is generally good. That’s because they can be used for a range of applications across various sectors. 

However, selling them privately can present certain challenges. How difficult it will be will depend on a number of factors:

• The condition and age. Well-maintained, newer models with low mileage are typically easier to sell. Buyers prefer vehicles with a clear service history and minimal wear.
• The brand and features. Popular brands like Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Isuzu tend to attract more buyers. The truck’s engine size, payload capacity, and additional features (like a tail lift or crane attachment) can also influence buyer interest.
• The current market trends. Local demand for commercial vehicles fluctuates based on how active an industry is, the season, and the economy.

While selling a drop-side truck privately might get you a higher price, it can be time-consuming and complicated. It takes time to deal with advertising, negotiating with buyers, and taking care of the paperwork.
