This spring, GTM Professional is launching a new dumper with a hydraulic tipping system. The new GTRD500 is interchangeable with the machine manufacturer's tracked wood chippers. This makes it possible to convert a 1300R or 1800R into a dumper - and vice versa.

The GTRD500 has a loading capacity of 500 kg and is available with either a Loncin or Honda engine. The complete dumper is available starting at €4,495 including VAT through GTM Professional's extensive dealer network.

The versatile GTRD500 is developed for arborists and landscapers to move wood chips, logs, paving materials or other heavy items on the job site. The tracked undercarriage is identical to that of the GTM Professional 1300R and 1800R chippers. This means that the self-propelled machine moves at a maximum speed of 4.5 km/h, with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse. The 18 cm wide rubber tracks are specially designed for wet or rough terrain.

Conversion kit

Already own a GTM tracked wood chipper and want to convert it into a dumper? That's possible with a special €1,495 conversion kit. This set includes a tipping container and hydrokit. Once the hydrokit is installed, switching between the wood chipper and dumper on the tracked undercarriage is very easy. With just one wrench and a lifting tool, you can convert the machine within 15 minutes.

Thanks to this interchangeable system, you save on budget, storage space, and machine maintenance.

Wood chipper component

Wood chipper components are also available separately from GTM Professional. So if you're interested in the dumper now but might want to use a wood chipper in the future, that's possible. Unlike purchasing a separate dumper and wood chipper, this interchangeable system saves you money, storage space, and maintenance costs.
