Tipper Hire Made Easy

Hiring a tipper shouldn’t be complicated — and at David Renton & Sons, we work hard to make the process straightforward, reliable and cost-effective for every customer. Whether you’re a contractor managing large earthworks or a homeowner organising a one-off clearance job, we provide flexible tipper hire and haulage services throughout the Scottish Borders, Northumberland and East Lothian.

Our modern fleet of 8-wheel tippers can handle a wide range of materials, including aggregates, soil, hardcore, recycled products, demolition arisings and inert waste. With our main depot near Duns, we can offer fast turnaround times, responsive delivery slots and dependable service across towns and rural areas alike.

Every vehicle is equipped with automatic sheeting systems, on-board weighers and demountable bodies, allowing us to switch between steel, aluminium and rock bodies depending on your project needs. This flexibility, combined with decades of local experience, makes our haulage service the ideal choice for groundwork contractors, farmers, builders and public sector organisations.

To help customers plan their work efficiently, we’ve created a simple Tipper Hire Checklist. Whether you’re clearing a site, delivering aggregates, or managing muck away, the following points ensure your hire runs smoothly:
