Dumpers

There are many different brands of dumper, and at Constructiontradex we have a database containing a wide range of dumpers, including Caterpillar, Benford, Terex and Neuson. The dumper is a useful and sought after piece of equipment, and at Constructiontradex you can refine your search, not only by brand or model, but by specific parameters such as engine size and fuel capacity. Dumpers usually operate by way of the skip moving in a hydraulically powered tipping motion, but also available are skips that can lift and dump, and swivel skips, which can be rotated to tip at a 90 degree angle, which is particularly useful in congested urban sites, for example a road works. Because dumpers have been identified as the most common cause of accident on construction sites, many are now equipped with ROPS, or roll-over protection, and FOPS, or falling object protection, in order to safeguard the operator and increase productivity.
