What's the difference between an articulated dump truck and a rigid dump truck?

An articulated dump truck has a hinge between the cab and the dump box, making it highly manoeuvrable. On the other hand, a rigid dump truck is constructed as a single unit, offering more stability and often a larger payload.

How much weight can an articulated dump truck carry?

The carrying capacity of an articulated dump truck varies by model. However, most trucks typically can transport payloads ranging from 25 to 45 tonnes.

Are articulated dump trucks suitable for off-road use?

Yes, articulated dump trucks are designed for off-road terrain. Most trucks feature robust construction and superior manoeuvrability, making them ideal for challenging conditions.

Can articulated dump trucks be used on public roads in Australia?

While articulated dump trucks are primarily designed for off-road use, they can be used on public roads in Australia. Still, operators must adhere to local transportation regulations and might require special permits depending on the truck's weight.

Is a special licence required to operate an articulated dump truck in Australia?

Operating an articulated dump truck in Australia usually requires a Heavy Rigid (HR) licence or above. Exact licence requirements vary based on the truck's size and state regulations.
