Dumper

A dump truck is also called a tipper. This special kind of utility vehicle is a truck tractor with a tipping body. This body has an even cargo area which is fitted with a tipping mechanism. This mechanism has the function to tilt the loading area for sliding down the load with the aid of hydraulic devices.

A dumper generally has a solid tailboard next to the driver’s cabin of the tractor unit. The construction of the body determines the possibilities of unloading the tipper. These dumpers are categorized as rear dump trucks, two-way tippers and three-way tippers.

Rear dump trucks can only be unloaded on their tailgate. Two-way tippers are able to open the left and right sidewall, but this model is nowadays unusual. The three-way tipper can open every sidewall expect the one towards the driver’s cabin. This one is the most common construction type.

Dumpers in public traffic are mostly used in civil engineering for example for road maintenance depots and parks commissions. There are also dumpers used in agriculture for example for the transport of crops. These often are fitted with a closed body or a tarpaulin for protecting the load against weather influences.
