Wondering if you need a dump truck, not a truck and dog? Well, if you’re operating on uneven ground or off-road conditions, you may need to consider an articulated dump truck for your job. But if you need to haul materials on a paved road, then you need a tipper, and you most probably need a truck and dog (as the most prolific kind of tipper on the market).

Truck and Dog Tipper Average Payloads & Licensing
The operation of tippers is heavily regulated in Australia by the National Heavy Vehicle Registrar. We recommend you brush up on their requirements before jumping into the cabin of a truck and dog. Most companies won’t hire you a tipper or truck and dog on dry hire without citing your heavy vehicle license and ensuring it’s adequate to operate the truck and dog based on it’s capacity and your intended destination. This is because the supplier is on the hook for your safety and the safety of the general public, due to the strict Chain of Responsibility Laws. If you don’t know what we’re talking about, then I recommend you read up before hiring a truck and dog!
| Type | Low Payload | High Payload | License to Operate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Truck & Dog | 15 Tonnes | 25 Tonnes | Heavy Rigid (HR) |
| Medium Truck & Dog | 25 Tonnes | 35 Tonnes | Heavy Rigid (HR) |
| Large Truck & Dog | 35 Tonnes | 50 Tonnes | Heavy Combination (HC) |
