When working on landscaping or construction projects where a high quantity of materials is involved, dumper hire can be an efficient solution to manage material handling. Dumpers can lift, transport and lower heavy loads with ease, removing the element of manual handling which is not only tough on the body but risks injury to personnel.
Keep reading to learn more about the various types of dumpers and their applications to help you choose the right equipment for your project.
What Is a Dumper?
Dumpers transport bulk materials like rubble, soil, or waste quickly and safely on construction sites. They feature a front container with the driver positioned behind it and can unload materials via a tilt mechanism or rear opening. With four wheels, dumpers navigate uneven ground well, and tracks can be added for better grip on difficult terrain.
Types of Dumpers Available for Hire
Different projects require different types of dumpers. Here are some popular types available for hire:
Standard Dumper
Dumper capacities range from 1 to 9 tonnes. Smaller dumpers (1 and 3 tonnes) are ideal for tight spaces and urban projects, featuring excellent stability and ease of operation. Larger dumpers (6 and 9 tonnes) suit major construction and mining, with high capacity, powerful engines, excellent traction, and durability for handling tough materials over rough terrain.
3-Tonne Dumper Narrow
The 3-tonne Dumper Narrow is specifically designed for projects requiring access through tight spaces while still needing significant load capacity. With a narrower profile and high manoeuvrability, it navigates easily through restricted access points.
Skip Dumper
The 1-tonne Skip Dumper offers the added convenience of a skip, the tilt mechanism enables easy unloading of materials. Its compact design is perfect for projects with limited access, making it suitable for a variety of tasks including waste removal and material distribution.
Swivel Dumper
The Swivel Dumper comes in a 3-tonne or 6-tonne capacity and the swivel mechanism provides greater flexibility in material placement. This feature allows for precise unloading in any direction, making it highly efficient for jobs that require accurate material distribution. It's ideal for complex sites where materials need to be placed in multiple locations without repositioning the dumper.
Cabbed Dumper
The Cabbed Dumper provides additional safety and comfort for operators working in harsh environments. The enclosed cab protects the driver from the elements and reduces exposure to dust and noise. It's ideal for use on sites where comfort and safety are priorities, such as in long-duration projects or adverse weather conditions.
Bell B20E Dump Truck
The Bell B20E Dump Truck, designed for efficiency in large-scale construction and mining, features advanced engine technology, superior capacity, and operator assistance systems. It excels in challenging terrains and demanding conditions, making it ideal for high-performance material transport.
