When Do You Need a Dump Truck?
Dump trucks haul a wide variety of building materials and waste across long distances to be dumped for disposal or later use. Heavy duty dump trucks and medium duty dump trucks are both designed to carry loose materials such as gravel, sand, and construction wastes, but only heavy duty dump trucks can be used off road. Dump trucks can be found in construction, forestry, agricultural, landscaping and many other projects.
The Different Types of Dump Trucks
- Transfer Dump Trucks – Also called a “transfer dump” for short, these dump trucks have a separate trailer with a container for gravel, sand, asphalt, woodchips, snow, and other aggregate materials.
- Superdump Trucks – A “superdumper” is the largest heavy duty dump truck available. They use a trailing axle design that allows them to carry much more than the average dump truck.
- Off Road Dump Truck – A dump truck that’s meant primarily for hauling large amounts of dirt and other loose materials across uneven or rough terrain.
Dump trucks can also be made from...
- Aluminum – A lightweight construction saves on fuel, but can get dented by heavier materials.
- Steel – More durable, but also susceptible to corrosion.
