What Is a Dump Truck?
A dump truck is a truck equipped with a tilting cargo bed that allows the cargo to be unloaded at once.
It is primarily used for transporting materials such as soil and industrial waste. Key features include the tilting function of the cargo bed, a large payload capacity, and high off-road capability. Common applications include the transportation of soil, stones, and materials in construction projects, disposal of industrial waste, transportation of ore in mines, and the hauling of fertilizers and crops in agriculture. As a result, dump trucks play a versatile role in various fields.
There are two main types of dump trucks: on-road dump trucks and off-road dump trucks. On-road dump trucks are designed for road travel and are used in urban areas and on main roads. On the other hand, off-road dump trucks are designed to navigate rough terrain and are suitable for use in challenging environments such as construction sites and mines.
