What is a Dump Truck?
A dump truck, also known as a dumper truck or tipper truck, is used for taking finer material such as sand, gravel, or demolition waste for construction. One is typically equipped with an open-box bed, which is hinged at the rear and equipped with hydraulic rams to lift the front, allowing the material in the bed to be deposited ("dumped") on the ground behind the truck at the site of delivery.
