Used 2019 Chipper Trucks For Sale

Used 2019 chipper trucks are built for brush, limbs, leaves, and light wood waste, with the enclosed high-side body and dump hoist setup tree crews need to stay productive. This category is also commonly called a chipper dump truck, chip box truck, arborist truck, or landscape dump truck. A 2019 model year often hits a practical middle ground for buyers who want modern emissions-era chassis, automatic transmissions, and updated cab ergonomics without moving into late-model pricing.

For many buyers, the first decision is CDL versus non-CDL. A common target is a 25,950 to 26,000 GVWR chassis so the truck can maximize legal payload while staying under the CDL threshold in many applications. Medium-duty platforms such as the International Durastar 4300 and Freightliner M2 106 are common in this class, and some lighter chipper bodies are mounted on trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado 6500HD. Expect to see diesel power from engines such as the Cummins 6.7L or Duramax 6.6L, paired with Allison automatic transmissions, air brakes on heavier-spec trucks, and either spring or air ride suspension depending on the chassis.

Body design matters as much as the chassis. Many 2019 chipper trucks in the market carry 16-foot aluminum dump bodies with 84-inch sides, full or partial roofs, barn doors, smooth interior wall panels, and electric-over-hydraulic or PTO-driven hoists. Aluminum construction helps control curb weight and corrosion, which is valuable for municipal work, tree service fleets, and landscaping contractors running year-round. Buyers should look closely at crossmember spacing, floor thickness, bulkhead reinforcement, door framing, hoist brand, PTO type, and hitch setup with a 7-way plug if the truck will tow a wood chipper, mini skid steer, or stump grinder. Interior liners and scuff protection are worth attention because repeated loading of brush and wood debris can wear a body faster than the odometer suggests.

A good used 2019 chipper truck should be evaluated as a complete work package, not just a cab and engine. Check the body installer, hoist cycle, hinge condition, rear door latching, hydraulic leaks, PTO engagement, brake type, tire size, and actual payload needs for your route density. If the truck will spend its life in residential neighborhoods, turning radius, cab visibility, and overall height with the chip roof can matter as much as horsepower. For crews that tow every day, confirm hitch rating, trailer brake wiring, and rear frame reinforcement. The best choice is the one that matches your crew size, dump frequency, and debris volume without giving up legal GVWR margin or serviceability.
