A tipper truck relies on its radio control: at the push of a button the body tips and unloads. If this wireless control fails, the vehicle stands still. The most common device on Meiller bodies is the ISAR 3 – and in most cases it can be repaired instead of replaced.
What is a tipper radio remote?
A tipper radio remote is a handheld transmitter that wirelessly operates the hydraulic tipping function of a truck body. The transmitter sends commands to a receiver unit fitted to the vehicle, which then raises or lowers the body. On Meiller tipper bodies this control is typically the ISAR 3 model.
Typical faults of the radio control
- The tipper does not react to any button – often an electronic fault or empty batteries.
- Only individual functions work – worn buttons or joystick.
- Short or fluctuating range – weak batteries, antenna or RF fault.
- Corrosion or drop damage after rough site use.

Frequently asked questions about tipper controls
Which tipper radio remote do you repair?
We specialise in the Meiller radio control, in particular the widespread ISAR 3 model. It wirelessly operates the tipping function of truck bodies. Tell us the model and type plate – we verify the fit before shipping.
My tipper can no longer be controlled by radio – what now?
First check the batteries and test from a short distance. If the radio control still does not respond, the fault usually lies with the remote or the receiver unit on the vehicle. Send the remote in for diagnosis.
Is a repair worthwhile compared to buying new?
In most cases yes. A repaired radio remote costs €450 net and is available in 1–3 business days, whereas an original new unit is considerably more expensive. Thanks to the deposit system, vehicles stand still only briefly.
