Ashok Leyland CT 2518il Tipper
The Ashok Leyland CT 2518il Tipper is a purpose-built construction tipper configured on the proven 6×4 2518il chassis — one of the most robust heavy-duty platforms in the Ashok Leyland Kenya range. The "CT" designation indicates a Construction Tipper specification, meaning the truck arrives ready for site work with a tipper body, hydraulic tipping system, and reinforced chassis rated for the demanding stop-start cycle of quarry, aggregate, and earthworks operations.With 180 HP, 25,000 kg GVW, and the traction advantage of 6×4 tandem drive axles, the CT 2518il can navigate loaded quarry ramps, muddy construction sites, and compacted aggregate yards that would defeat lesser trucks. The hydraulic tipper body — typically 14–16 cubic metres — enables rapid unloading directly on site without manual handling.Available from KES 7,950,000 (incl. VAT) through AWL, Kenya's authorised Ashok Leyland dealer. Prices are indicative and subject to change without notice.

Both are 6×4 25T tippers on the same chassis. The CT 2518il is positioned as the Construction Tipper specification (KES 7,950,000), while the U 2518il Tipper (KES 8,350,000) offers a higher specification — contact AWL for detailed comparison of the two configurations.
Yes. The 6×4 tandem drive provides excellent traction for quarry ramps and unpaved site roads. The reinforced chassis is designed for the cyclic stop-start loading conditions of quarry and earthworks operations.
The CT 2518il uses a hydraulic single or twin-ram tipping system powered by the engine's PTO. Tipping cycle time is typically under 30 seconds for a full load.
Key maintenance items include the engine service schedule, hydraulic fluid and ram seals, tipper hinge pins, and body wear plates. AWL provides scheduled maintenance and genuine parts supply for the CT 2518il.
