Chipper Trucks and Chip Trucks for Tree Service and Landscaping Operations

A chipper truck is a medium duty or heavy duty commercial truck configured to haul wood chips produced by a wood chipper or brush chipper. Tree service companies, landscaping contractors and municipal parks departments rely on chip trucks to transport large volumes of wood chips from job sites to disposal yards, compost facilities or customer drop locations.

Chip truck bodies are typically open-top with high sides to maximize load volume and minimize trips per job. Many configurations include a tarp system for highway compliance when hauling loads that could scatter debris. Pre-owned chipper trucks let contractors add capacity at lower capital cost compared to new truck orders, which often carry extended lead times for commercial chassis and body upfits.

Chipper Dump Trucks for Combined Hauling and Dumping

A chipper dump truck combines a chip body with a hydraulic dump hoist so operators can offload wood chips, mulch and green waste without manual shoveling or a loading machine. Tree service companies that deliver chips and mulch directly to landscaping customers benefit from the dump function, which speeds delivery and reduces labor per stop.

Chipper dump trucks are available on tandem axle and single rear axle platforms. Tandem axle units carry higher payload ratings and distribute weight better for heavy mulch loads. Single axle units are more maneuverable for residential street access and smaller job sites where turning radius matters.

What Commercial Buyers Review Before Purchase

Most buyers review chassis class, body capacity, axle configuration, hoist condition, tarp system functionality, tire wear and overall structural integrity before committing to a used chip truck. Matching body volume and payload capacity to the output volume of your chipper is important for operational efficiency and job profitability.

Chassis platform selection affects long-term maintenance cost and parts availability. Trucks built on Ford, International, Freightliner and Kenworth platforms carry broad service networks and technician familiarity across most markets.
