A dump truck is a special vehicle that automatically unloads cargo through a hydraulic or mechanical lifting mechanism. It is also called a tipper truck and is mainly composed of a vehicle chassis, a hydraulic lifting system, a cargo compartment, and a power take-off device.

Features

Unloading is accomplished by tilting the cargo compartment to a specific angle using a hydraulic system or mechanical device. Unloading methods can be categorized into two types: rearward tipping (mainstream) and sideways tipping.

Applications

On construction sites, these machines often operate in conjunction with excavators and loaders, forming a loading, transporting, and unloading production line. They are primarily used in the construction, mining, and agricultural sectors to transport bulk cargo such as sand, gravel, and soil.
