A tipping vehicle body for a goods vehicle is disclosed. The body has a load removal opening and a tailgate 10 that can pivot between a closed condition in which it obstructs the load removal opening and an open condition in which it at least partially clears the load removal opening. The body has a locking mechanism 22 having a locked condition in which it retains the tailgate in the closed position and an unlocked condition in which it allows the tailgate to move from the closed towards the open position. A damping mechanism 36, 40, 42 has a deployed condition in which it resists movement of the tailgate as it approaches the closed position and an inoperative condition in which it has minimal or no effect upon movement of the tailgate. Operation of the locking mechanism to cause it to adopt the unlocked condition causes the damping mechanism to adopt the deployed condition, and operation of the locking mechanism to cause it to adopt the locked condition causes the damping mechanism to adopt the inoperative condition.
