What Is A Dump Truck

A dump truck, as the name suggests, has the function of automatically dumping goods. It is mainly composed of a carriage, frame, hydraulic system, etc., characterised as easy automatic dumping and strong load-bearing capacity. In the construction industry, dump trucks are mainly used for the transportation of bulk materials such as sand, gravel, and soil.

The dumper unloads goods through hydraulic or mechanical lifting system. It usually has an automatic dumping bucket, which can either dump goods backwards or sideways. It is also known as a dump truck, dump trailer, Tipper truck etc.

What Are Dump Trucks Used For

The application range of dumpers is wide, such as constructions of buildings, roads, and mines, and so on. At construction sites, dump trucks can be used for the transportation of building materials such as sand, gravel, cement, etc., flexibly moving between sites and materials plants; In mines, dumpers are responsible for the transportation of ore.

How To Choose A Dump Truck

When choosing a dumper, it is necessary to consider factors such as the vehicle’s load capacity, unloading height, and driving speed based on actual needs. Choosing a suitable dump truck can not only improve transportation efficiency but also reduce operating costs.

Types Of Dump Trucks

Classified by purpose: ordinary dumpers, pump dumpers, horizontal dumpers, fully hydraulic dumpers, etc.

A regular truck refers to a vehicle equipped with one or more unloading devices on its body, which can be manually operated through control rods.

Classified by appearance:

  • single-axle dumper
  • double-axle dumper
  • triple-axle dumper
  • flat-head dumper
  • pointed dumper
  • front-four and rear-eight dumper
  • double-axle semi-trailer dumer
  • triple-axle semi-trailer dumper

Classified by driving mode:

  • 4×2 (single axle)
  • 6×2 (double axle)
  • 6×4 (front four and rear four)
  • 8×4 (front four and rear eight)

According to the direction of carriage flipping:

  • rear-flip dumper
  • side-flip dumper
  • front-flip dumper

A pump truck is a vehicle equipped with a hydraulic pump on the basis of a regular truck, which uses the pressure boosting effect of the hydraulic pump to assist manual operations in completing unloading operations.

A horizontal truck refers to a vehicle in which the unloading device of the vehicle body is placed at the rear of the vehicle body, and a horizontal suspension rod is installed at the front of the vehicle body. The lifting effect of the suspension rod helps manual operation to complete the unloading operation.

A fully hydraulic truck is a vehicle that can replace the unloading device of a regular truck with a hydraulic driven unloading device, utilizing the pressure boosting effect of the hydraulic system to assist manual operations in completing unloading operations.

In addition, dump trucks can also be classified according to different standards such as chassis carrying capacity and unloading hydraulic lifting mechanisms. In short, there are various types of dumpers that can be selected according to specific usage requirements.

There are also many other types of construction machinery from LUTON GROUP which make your projects easier and more efficient, such as concrete pump machines, concrete mixer machines, self loading concrete mixer truck, concrete batching plant, asphalt batching plant, dry mortar plant, and so on.
