Dump Trucks News, Videos, and Information

Dump Trucks are the backbone of any contractor's fleet. They come in a rage of designs and sizes as varied as the loads they haul. The Articulated Dump Truck, or ADT, is a heavy-duty, off-road vehicle, ideal for rough terrain, with a hinge between the cab and the dump box that gives it maneuverability. Other varieties include the standard dump truck; the semi-end dump truck, a tractor-trailer combination in which the trailer itself contains a hydraulic hoist; the transfer dump truck, essentially a standard truck that pulls one or more separate trailers; a Superdump, which is a straight dump truck equipped with a liftable, load-bearing axle; the side dump truck (SDT), which has hydraulic rams that h tilt the dump box onto its side; and the winter service vehicles, which plow and pour salt on snow-covered roads. Whatever your hauling needs, the listings at Construction Equipment Guide will steer you toward the right vehicle. You can find new and used dump trucks for sale from the leading equipment manufacturers right here.
