Do you need to move dirt, rocks, or sand? Want a strong truck for your job?
Welcome! I am here to tell you about dump trucks. They are big helpers for building, mining, hauling, and cleaning work. Let’s show you how dump trucks work, how much they cost, and how you can pick the best one for your needs. I am from CLW-GRUPPE. We make strong trucks just for you. We also help you after you buy a truck. When you want a dump truck, you need a friend who knows trucks. That’s us!
What Is a Dump Truck?
A Abrollcontainer is a big truck that carries things like dirt or sand. It has a special bed in the back. This bed tips up so everything falls out, quick and easy.
Dump trucks work everywhere:
- Construction sites (building roads or houses)
- Quarries digging rocks
- Mines getting gold, coal, or stones
- Hauling jobs (gravel or waste removal)
You need the right truck to make your job fast, low-cost, and safe.
Types of Dump Trucks
Let’s see the different types. Each one fits a job.
Here’s a table to help you understand:
| Type | Where It Works Best | What’s Special |
|---|---|---|
| Standard/Tandem | Roadwork, Building Sites | Easy to drive, medium size, turns well |
| Articulated | Off-road, Muddy Sites | Works on rough ground, bends for turns |
| Rigid | Mining, Quarries | Very big, carries the most, not for roads |
| Transfer | Long Hauls, Asphalt | Carries a lot, moves a trailer, complex |
| Side/Belly/Super | Special Jobs | Dumps to side or under, big or extra strong |
Let me give you a list of each kind:
- Standard Dump Truck (Tandem Dump Truck):
Smaller, good for building and city roads. Easy to steer. Capacity is 13-20 tons.
- Articulated Dump Truck (ADT):
Works best off-road. The middle bends in the middle to turn. Capacity is 25-60 tons.
- Rigid Dump Truck:
Giant size, used for mining. Not good for tight turns. Capacity can be 40-400+ tons.
- Transfer Dump Truck:
Has a trailer it carries—brings even more stuff. Used for big hauling jobs.
- Side Dump, Belly Dump, Super Dump:
Dumps out the side or bottom. Super dump carries extra, good for heavy work.
These dump truck types are made by big brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Mack, Western Star, Hitachi, Bell Equipment, and Terex.
Dump Truck Costs: What to Expect
You need to know how much to buy and run a dump truck. Here are the basics:
Table: Pricing and Operating Cost Example
| Type | New Cost (USD) | Used Cost (USD) | Runs For (Tons) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tandem/Standard | $100,000 – $180,000 | $30,000 – $120,000 | 13-20 |
| Articulated | $350,000 – $700,000 | $100,000 – $500,000 | 25-60 |
| Rigid | $500,000 – $5,000,000 | $200,000 – $2,500,000 | 40-400+ |
Running a dump truck also costs money:
- Kraftstoff (big trucks use more, 2-8 MPG)
- Tires (can be expensive)
- Repairs & Maintenance (trucks work hard, need check-ups)—5-15% of cost per year
- Versicherung
- Driver pay
- Permits
Think about the total cost of owning a dump truck. An old dump truck can be cheaper to buy, but it may need more repairs.
