Dump trucks are heavy machinery used to transport large volumes of loose materials such as dirt, sand, ores, gravel, and demolition waste across mining, civil or major construction sites. If your next construction or mining project requires the transportation of loose material, chances are you're going to need a dump truck. The two most popular dump trucks for hire include the rigid rear dump truck and articulated dump truck.
Our directory offers a huge volume of dump trucks for hire by qualified suppliers throughout Australia in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Darwin, Perth, Adelaide and everywhere else in between. These suppliers offer a diverse range of dump trucks to suit most projects and operations. You can contact our dump truck suppliers directly for quotes, no matter whether if you need - from track mounted dump trucks, to high rail dump trucks, front tip dump trucks, site dumpers, and even underground dump trucks.
Dump trucks come in an assortment of types and configurations. Each is designed for use across a variety of different applications, so picking the right one for your project is important. Popular applications include using articulated dump trucks for civil and mining operations, rigid rear dump trucks for use in tandem with hydraulic excavators in mining, site dumpers and front tippers for use in compact or low capacity operations, track mounted dump trucks for operations that require work on sandy, bog, dirt, snow or muddy terrain, hi rail dump trucks for use in railway projects, and underground dump trucks for use in both hard-rock and soft-rock underground mining and tunnel construction projects.
Dump trucks are typically filled with dirt, sand or minerals by another machine where it then transports and dumps its load at a specified location. As such, the key feature of a dump truck is the dump box which is powered by hydraulics, allowing operators to lift and tip loads. In other words, hydraulic hoist systems are used to lift the dump box when it needs to be emptied.

Response time in under 30 minsDump trucks are heavy machinery capable of transporting large volumes of loose materials from mining, civil, or major construction sites. You will need to consider hiring a dump truck on your next construction or mining project for transportation of loose dirt, sand, ores, gravel, and demolition waste. The main two dump trucks available for hire are the rigid rear dump trucks and articulated dump trucks.
Dump trucks are usually hired on construction or mining projects and are filled by another machine with loose dirt, sand, and minerals. Once loaded, the dump trucks transport the materials to the indicated location and then unload via the hydraulically powered dump box until emptied.
There are six different types of dump trucks available for hire at iSeekplant across Australia.
Dump trucks are available for hire in various sizes. The most common sized articulated dump trucks available range from 10 to 40 tonne models, and rigid rear dump trucks range from 30 to 400 tonne models.
