Our network connects you with various site dumper models. The term ‘site dumper’ can often be conflated for a number of different bits of gear, or dump trucks in general, because let’s face it, site dumper is not the most descriptive term. In this category on our website, we classify ‘site dumpers’ as small dump trucks that are suitable for residential or tight access job sites.
They are either wheel mounted (for compact surfaces) or track mounted (for loose or wet terrain) and have a tipping bucket in front of the cabin, not behind. The chassis is positioned behind the trailer so that the operator can expunge the contents while watching, for ultimate precision on jobs needing a level of attention to detail. They are not road registered, and they can only be operated off-road. As such, they need to be mobilised to the site on a flatbed truck or low loader. They usually have a maximum payload capacity of 10 tonnes.
Not what you were looking for? Want something with a bigger payload capacity? Maybe you wanted a tipper or an articulated dump truck? Give us a holler using the chat tool on the right-hand side of the browser, and we can answer any questions you might have about the right truck for your materials handling job!
