Summary: Transporting
bulk materials
Dump trailers are unpowered vehicles designed to be
towed by trucks or tractors, used for transporting and unloading loose bulk
materials. Their primary function is to efficiently move materials like gravel,
sand, asphalt, or construction debris.
Function: Dump trailers are loaded with material and then transported to the desired location. The key feature is their ability to unload quickly and efficiently. This is achieved through a hydraulic system that raises the front of the trailer bed, causing the material to slide out the back.
Types: There are several types of dump trailers, including:
End dump trailers: The
most common type, where the trailer bed tilts upwards at the front to dump
material out the rear.
Bottom dump trailers (belly
dumps): These trailers have gates on the bottom that open to release material
in a controlled line or windrow.
Side dump trailers: These
trailers tilt to the side to unload.
Use: Dump trailers are essential in:
* Construction: Hauling
aggregate, dirt, and debris.
* Mining: Transporting ore and
other materials.
* Agriculture: Moving grain or other commodities.
