Choosing the right dump truck is critical to ensure that your construction, demolition or delivery job progresses without a hitch, and we can help by providing the right type of truck based on your needs from brands you can trust.
We supply a fleet of Rokbak trucks, which in the industry is a byword for reliability and gives you peace of mind that whichever model you choose, it is there for you for the long haul.
It also lets you focus on the other essential questions you need to ask yourself when buying or hiring a dump truck for your next project.
There is more than one kind of dump truck, and they can vary in size and power from tiny loaders to gigantic mining vehicles.
Some trucks are faster than others, have more features or are designed to be used either off-road or whilst travelling on the road.
Choosing a truck that is either too powerful or not powerful enough is not necessarily cost-effective. Underpowered trucks cost you time and energy when hauling, but an engine that is too powerful for the job you need it to do increases operating costs per mile.
Some dump trucks are articulated or designed to more easily navigate a construction site, whilst others are designed to carry huge payloads largely in a straight line.
The biggest consideration for your dump truck will be its payload capacity, which is not only the physical size of the materials but also their weight and how it is distributed.
If you are carrying loose sand or gravel, for example, that is a large load but not necessarily as heavy as carrying a smaller payload of particularly dense metals. All of this should be taken into account when buying.
Safety must be a priority when making any heavy equipment purchases, but the features you are likely to need will depend on the risks of your site and the extent to which it will be used on the road.
However, traction control, anti-lock brakes and rear cameras are vital to minimising on-site accidents.
