Introduction to Site Dumper

Personally, I think site dumper is one of the “cutest” construction equipment among the equipment, don't you think so?

So, what is a Site Dumper?

A Site Dumper is a vehicle designed for carrying bulk material, often on building sites. 

The function of the site dumper is very similar to the dumper truck. One of the easiest ways to distinguish them is by size. The dumper truck is huge in size while the dumper is smaller in size and weight. Typically, the dumper can usually carry a payload of 1T up to 5T. There is some dumper that can have a payload up to 10T. For dumper trucks, their payload is easily more than that.

Dumper can be also distinguished from dump trucks by configuration: a dumper is usually an open 4-wheeled vehicle with the load skip in front of the driver, while a dump truck has its cab in front of the load. The skip can tip to dump the load; this is where the name "dumper" comes from. 

Site Dumper is usually powered by a diesel engine. You can find either a rubber-wheeled dumper or tracked dumper according to your requirement at the job site. If you are working in a very rough ground condition such as soft ground, mud area, the tracked dumper is definitely your choice as its bigger surface of tracked will prevent you from getting bogged down.

What is Site Dumper user for?

Thanks to their robust engine, high speeds, smaller size, a site dumper are crucial equipment in the congested site or rough outdoor terrain like forests. A dumper is proven equipment that moves lots of earth over short or medium distances within very little time. Basically, there is three important tasks for the dumper.

1. Earthing Moving/Site Clearing

The most common application of site dumpers is to move the earth. Here, excavators or spades are used to load the said earth onto the dumper. The dumper is then driven by the operator who delivers or removing the earth or trash where it's needed to go. On average, a site dumper can move from 1 ton to 5 tons of earth per trip. There is even a dumper with a designated payload of up to 10T already available in the market. 

2. Backfill soil

Just in the same way site dumpers can move earth from one location to another, they can also be used to backfill soil into previously excavated sites. Here, the dumpers are loaded in the same way as explained above and the operators then drive and dump the earth onto the excavated area. Their bucket tipping availability makes them good backfilling equipment. They can be used to backfill trenches, fencing holes, sewerage pits, and any other excavated site. 

3. Transport building supplies around the site

Earth aside, a site dumper can be used to transport construction supplies as well. This is ideal where the materials are bulky and need to be transported over short distances around the site. Dumpers are fast as they can quickly offload materials through their hydraulic swivel function. They can also navigate through tight spaces easier. Some of the materials that can be transported here include cement, sand, ballast, aggregate, bricks, and even water.
