What is a dump truck?

A dump truck is a large truck with a deep open bed at the back that can be tilted or raised at an angle to unload materials such as sand, gravel, dirt, or rocks. Dump trucks are commonly used in construction, mining, and landscaping industries to transport and dump materials at construction sites, mines, or other locations.

Dump trucks come in various sizes, ranging from small dump trucks with a capacity of around 2-3 cubic yards to large articulated dump trucks with a capacity of over 30 cubic yards. They are typically equipped with hydraulic systems that allow the bed to be raised or tilted, making it easier to unload the materials.

There are different types of dump trucks, including standard dump trucks, articulated dump trucks, off-road dump trucks, and side dump trucks, each designed for specific tasks and terrain. Dump trucks are essential in the construction industry to transport and deliver materials efficiently, and they play a crucial role in various other industries as well.
