How to choose the dump truck that suits you

A dump truck, as the name suggests, is a truck that can dump goods by itself.According to different working conditions, we can divide them into mining dump trucks, mining area dump trucks, urban muck dump trucks, etc.

However, how to choose a dump truck that can continue to bring benefits to oneself is the main concern of most customers, so this article mainly describes in detail how to choose a dump truck from the following points.

Dump truck chassis:

Let's start with the chassis of the dump truck. Different load requirements have different requirements for the chassis of dump trucks. If it is a one-time load of 5T/10T, we can choose a light truck chassis for modification. Because the load is not large, we can choose a light truck chassis in order to save costs.But if the load requirement is very high, we have to choose a 6×4 or 8×4 medium-heavy truck chassis, and the frame should choose a double-layer

 or even a three-layer frame to ensure stable pulling and more pulling.

At the same time, our chassis should also choose a ground clearance suitable for our own working conditions. If it is a rough road condition, we should choose a chassis with high ground clearance and high bumper.The capacity of the fuel tank is also very important for dump trucks. If it is a long-distance transportation, it is necessary to consider whether to choose an auxiliary fuel tank or a 600L large-capacity fuel tank.Meanwhile,the thickness and number of leaf springs also have an impact on the load-bearing capacity of the dump truck。

Dump truck cargo box:

The size of the container of the dump truck is different, and the corresponding volume is different.Generally, the length of 6×4 dump truck is 5.2m or 5.6m, and the length of 8×4 dump truck is 7.4m/7.6m.The width is 2.3m at the widest according to Chinese regulations, so different volumes can be obtained by changing the length and height.

The material of the cargo box is also very important for the dump truck. At present, the materials of the cargo box produced in China are ranked from weak to strong: ordinary plate, manganese plate, high-strength plate, and wear-resistant plate.The material we usually use is manganese plate.

According to different transportation materials, we have different requirements for the thickness of the cargo box. If it is a sharp or heavy cargo, we have to increase the thickness of the bottom plate to avoid the cargo being smashed into the cargo box after being loaded into the cargo box by the loader,and made bottom and cause damage.If the above situation is the case, we need to make the bottom thickness of the container to 10mm. The thickness of our general cargo will be bottom 8mm and side 6mm.

Depending on the road conditions, we sometimes encounter the situation that the dump truck is fully loaded uphill and fully loaded downhill.When the dump truck is fully loaded uphill, we need to move the center of gravity of the dump truck forward by changing the distance between the cargo box and the cab.When the dump truck is fully loaded on the downhill section, we need to move the center of gravity of the dump truck back and thicken the front plate of the dump truck container to avoid damage to the cab caused by the collision of the cargo after emergency braking.

The key to the lifting capacity of the dump truck is the oil cylinder.At present, the brand generally accepted in the world is Hyva lift cylinder. In recent years, domestic oil cylinders have gradually risen, such as Eurik cylinders.

At present, the lifting system of the dump truck is mainly divided into two lifting systems: the middle top and the front top.The advantages of the middle lift dump truck are fast lifting speed, low cost and high efficiency, but the lifting capacity is insufficient. Generally, when the lifting weight is less than 40T, the middle lift system can be used.Or when the length of the cargo box is greater than 6m, we can only use the front lifting system, and the lifting capacity of the front lifting system is greater than that of the middle lift.

The container of the dump truck is generally divided into a rectangular box and a U-shaped box. The rectangular box can increase the volume by increasing the height, and the U-shaped box can increase the volume by increasing the width of the middle of the container.

Finally, I hope that all buyers can choose a dump truck that can quickly and continuously bring benefits to them.
