Dump Truck

construction · heavy machinery · transportation

Tilting bed design. The truck's open box bed is hinged at the back and tilts upward using hydraulic rams, which are powerful pistons that lift the front end so everything inside slides out behind the truck.

Hydraulic power. Hydraulic rams use pressurized fluid to create enormous lifting force, allowing the truck to raise its heavy load smoothly and quickly without needing a person to do the work.

Construction workhorse. Dump trucks transport materials like sand, gravel, dirt, and coal to building sites, making them essential for roads, buildings, and other construction projects.

Different names worldwide. In the UK, Australia, and other countries, these vehicles are called tipper trucks, tipper lorries, or tip trucks instead of dump trucks.
