Mini Dumper

The mini dump truck belongs to a separate category. It is a modestly sized truck. It can be used to transport heavy loads. A small dumper is more agile than a standard truck. Its autonomy in movement and transport capacity are some vital factors before purchase. Since these factors require more explanation and professional insights, therefore, the focus is then switched to the styles and material.

Body styles of mini dumpers

There are three kinds of mini dumpers in body styles: rectangle, half-round, and semi-elliptical. A mini dumper with a traditional rectangle dump box will offer the most room on the bed floor. Due to its strength and agility while a low center of gravity when carrying a heavy load, this shape is very popular. An electric mini dumper with a half-round dump box can handle impact better than the rectangular version because the steel is shaped into a semi-circle. As it doesn't require cross-members for support, it offers a lighter total weight and greater payload capacity. The shape also makes it more difficult for materials to stick to the floor, allowing for a cleaner dump cycle. The semi-elliptical style is considered a hybrid between the former traditional rectangle and the half-round. For example, a micro dumper of this type has floors like the traditional rectangle body style but has a haul shape like the half-round body style.

Body materials of mini dumpers

As all metals don't have the same tensile strength, choosing the right one depends on the nature of the task the self-loading dump truck will be used for. There are two main options: steel and aluminum. Steel dumpers are ideal for carrying more abrasive materials (such as asphalt, gravel, and concrete) as they offer more protection than aluminum dumpers against potential damage. An aluminum dump truck is a great choice when carrying non-abrasive materials because of its lighter weight. It offers more protection from corrosion, as well as a greater payload capacity.
