Dumpers ~ these are used for the horizontal transportation of
materials on and off construction sites generally by means of an
integral tipping skip. Highway dumpers are of a similar but larger
design and can be used to carry materials such as excavated spoil
along the roads. A wide range of dumpers are available of various
carrying capacities and options for gravity or hydraulic discharge
control with front tipping, side tipping or elevated tipping facilities.
Special format dumpers fitted with flat platforms, rigs to carry
materials skips and rigs for concrete skips for crane hoisting are
also obtainable. These machines are designed to traverse rough
terrain but they are not designed to carry passengers and this
misuse is the cause of many accidents involving dumpers.
