Chris Bartlett: The Genius Behind the TUFF

At the heart of WilcoTUFF is the expertise of Chris Bartlett—an engineering mastermind whose vision and dedication have shaped one of the most advanced tipper bodies ever built in the UK. With decades of hands-on experience, Chris has designed hundreds of vehicles across his career, but he calls WilcoTUFF “the best steel tipper I have ever built with over 47 years of experiencing going into the build.” This is more than engineering—it’s craftsmanship, precision, and a relentless pursuit of perfection.

AND the industry has taken notice. “Well done Chris, this is a massive achievement,” wrote David Hendley, a key supplier in the road transport sector. 

Chris Bartlett isn’t just a designer. He’s a disruptor, a thinker, and a builder of tools that make businesses stronger. WilcoTUFF is his boldest statement yeComprehensive Expertise
