Your cut length & fitment details
Cutting is free and optional. Give us your exact length below and we cut before dispatch — or leave it blank and we supply the full length of the option you pick (e.g. "Up to 3.6m" ships as 3.6m). You can also email it later with your order number.
Custom-cut boards can't normally be changed or resold once cut — double-check your measurement. This doesn't affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Description
Replace one damaged hungry board — full length, or cut to your size free.
Clipped a board reversing, or bent one on a bad load? Get one aluminium plank with matching end caps and rivets — supplied at the full length of the option you choose, or cut to your exact millimetre free of charge if you tell us the size.
This is boards only — ideal if you're replacing a single existing board, or you already have your own mounting system and just need the plank.
What you get
- 1 × aluminium hungry board plank (full length, or cut to your nominated size — your choice)
- 2 × matching end caps
- End-cap rivets
- Cutting to your exact length — free, if you want it
Not included: no mounting brackets, no truck-mounting bolts. Need those? Our Complete Aluminium Tipper Hungry Board Kit has the brackets and hardware for both sides, or grab the Bracket Kit on its own.
Check before you order: you are responsible for confirming that the plank profile and dimensions suit your existing brackets. Not sure? Email a photo of your current board and brackets to contact@alltarps.store and we'll check it for you.
How ordering works — 3 steps
- Pick the length option that covers your board. Need 3,250mm? Pick “Up to 3.6m”.
- Want us to cut it? Tell us. Leave your exact finished length in millimetres in the order notes at checkout, or email it with your order number to contact@alltarps.store — cutting is free. If we don't hear a length, we supply the plank at the full length of your chosen option and you can trim it on site.
- Pay and it's on its way. Free pickup from Heatherbrae, or choose freight and we sort the cost with you before it ships.
Full length or cut to size — your choice
By default, you get the full length of the option you pick (“Up to 3.6m” = a 3.6m plank). Aluminium planks cut cleanly on site with common tools, so plenty of operators trim their own.
Rather have it arrive ready to fit? Give us your finished length in millimetres — order notes or email — and we cut it to the millimetre before dispatch, free. Once a board is custom cut it can't normally be changed or resold, so double-check your measurement. This does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Made to order. Preparation time is confirmed after your order is reviewed.
Installation
Fitting a replacement board to existing brackets may still require drilling and mechanical fastening depending on your setup. Installation is not included in the supply-only price; local installation at our Heatherbrae workshop can be quoted separately.
Installation must not interfere with the tipper body, tailgate, hinges, latches, tarp system, lights or other vehicle components.
Pickup and freight
Local pickup is available from Heatherbrae, NSW. Australia-wide delivery is available — because these are long-length items, freight is confirmed after your order and invoiced separately before dispatch. If the freight cost doesn't suit, you can cancel for a full refund before cutting or dispatch.
Important load and vehicle notice
Hungry boards increase the available body volume but do not increase the vehicle's legal GVM, axle capacity or permitted payload. The vehicle operator remains responsible for legal loading, load restraint, vehicle dimensions, roadworthiness and safe operation.
Frequently asked questions
What is a hungry board?
A side extension fitted above the existing sides of a tipper body to lift them higher, so you can carry more light, bulky material and keep it from spilling over.
Are the boards cut to size?
Your choice. Leave your exact length in the order notes (or email it with your order number) and we cut it free before dispatch — or take the full-length plank and trim it on site yourself.
What if I don't give you a length?
You'll receive the full length of the option you picked — e.g. “Up to 3.6m” ships as a 3.6m plank.
Will this board fit my existing brackets?
Tipper setups vary, so you'll need to confirm the plank profile and dimensions suit your existing brackets. Email a photo of your current board and brackets to contact@alltarps.store if you'd like us to check before you order.
I need brackets too.
Go with our Complete Aluminium Tipper Hungry Board Kit — brackets and hardware for both sides included — or the Bracket Kit on its own.
Replacing both sides?
Our pair listing works out cheaper than two singles.
Is installation included?
No. This is a supply-only price. Local installation at Heatherbrae can be quoted separately.
Can you freight Australia-wide?
Yes — freight is confirmed per order and invoiced separately before dispatch because of the board length.
Can I stack two boards on each side?
This current mounting system is offered as a single-height kit with one plank per side. Double-height systems are not currently available through this listing.
Do hungry boards increase my legal payload?
No. They add volume for lighter materials only — they do not change the vehicle's GVM, axle capacity or permitted payload.
Need a tarp over the top?
We make those too. Ask us about a hungry board and tarp package.
