Articulated dump truck CATERPILLAR D350B

The articulated dumper: designed to cope with the hazards of the terrain and bad weather

Thanks to its articulation which allows it to lean on slopes, the articulated dump truck is particularly appreciated on: earthworks or tracks that remain rough and on loose or unstabilized ground. Indeed, it is the king of the transport of heavy or bulky loads.

What characteristics should be taken into account when choosing the articulated dump truck ?

Of course, the application must be taken into account, but also the payload of the product. We provide a lot of information on our advertisements for articulated and rigid trucks. Like the hydraulic system, the year of construction of the machine and the power of its engine. Finally, you can find the price of our used machines on each product sheet.

For loading operations the combination of shovel & dump truck or loader & dump truck is the most common. The dumper is positioned in parallel with the loading equipment. The emptying of the dump of this construction machine is done either by tilting it or by moving the wall backwards for ejector models.

What are the specificities of articulated trucks ?

The articulated dump truck is a four or six-wheel drive truck with a tipper capacity of 20 to 40 tonnes. The steering is not done by the steering axle but by the orientation of the assembly: cab, engine, gearbox and axle because the chassis is articulated by a pivot point and hydraulic steering cylinders. Powershift transmissions allow the truck to reach travel speeds of nearly 70 km/h for the fastest.
