Ready to Run Relay Tipper
2018 Citroën Relay Ready to Run tippers are based on the Relay 35 L2 Single Cab and L3 Crew Cab models. Features include bolted construction for ease of maintenance and ready adaptation using the Citroën Ready to Run options list. Steel and aluminium components are used to ensure robust construction and optimum payload.

Double-skinned aluminium side boards are fitted with integrated lever lock assemblies. The tail board is supplied with full “Chapter 8” high-visibility markings.
Ready to Run tippers are fitted with underfloor, scissor-type tipping gear incorporates overload and hose burst protection. The mechanism is designed to be maintenance free for the life of the vehicle.
