What types of Dump Truck do you need ?
The dump truck or sometimes called a production truck, is a truck used for transporting loose material such as sand, gravel, or dirt, for the construction industry. Most dump truck are equipped with a hydraulically operated open-box bed hinged at the rear, the front of which can be lifted up to allow the contents to be deposited on the ground behind the truck at the site of delivery. Today, most all dump trucks operate by hydraulics and they come in a variety of configurations each designed to accomplish a specific task in the construction material supply chain.
The standard dump truck is a full truck chassis with a dump body mounted to the frame. The dump body is raised by a hydraulic ram mounted forward of the front bulkhead, between the truck cab (traction unit) and the dump body (semi-trailer). A standard dump truck has one front axle, and one or more rear axles which typically have dual wheels on each side. Common configurations for a standard dump truck include the six wheeler which has one rear axle, the ten wheeler with two rear axles, and the tri-axle with three rear axles. These are mainly found in inner cities and in the deep south. The largest of the standard dump trucks is commonly called a "centipede" and has seven axles. The rear two axles are powered and the front axle is the steeing axle. The intermediate axles are present to support the weigh over the length of the chassis and sometimes to provide additional braking power. The short wheelbase of a standard dump truck makes it more maneuverable than the higher capacity semi-trailer dump trucks.
