What types of materials can a site dumper carry?

There is essentially no limit on the types of materials you can carry with a site dumper. Typically, they are used for carrying gravel, soil, sand and all other types of construction debris. Primarily, they are used for cleaning up worksites. Removing debris and unwanted messes helps to keep a construction site safe and easily accessible.

However, they can also be used in ground preparation, to carry sand, gravel and other materials where they need to go. You can dump materials wherever you need them, so you’re only limited by the machine’s lifting capacity.

Are there different-sized site dumpers available?

There are several different sizes available depending on your needs. The most crucial consideration is the lifting capacity. The Thwaites range includes site dumpers from 3.5 tonnes to 12 tonnes. But you also need to consider the size of the machine in relation to your work site.

The benefits of choosing quality site dumpers

Thwaites site dumpers are recognised as an industry-leading machine. Earthmoving Equipment Australia proudly service and repair Thwaites dumpers, as well as providing parts support. Here are some of the reasons you should always invest in quality site dumpers like Thwaites.

Freedom of movement

The articulation and oscillation capabilities of quality site dumpers mean you can move around the site more freely. In fact, you should be able to manoeuvre them in and out of tight spots, no matter how wet the ground is underneath. The site dumper’s bin should also have the flexibility to move around, allowing for precise backfilling and more versatility.

Thwaites site dumpers feature a 180-degree swivel skip bin, which means you can access more areas and transport materials more easily across construction sites.

Minimum ground disturbance

Large parts of any construction site include delicate surfaces. These are the ones that have been painstakingly prepared, ready for construction. The use of machinery on these surfaces risks disturbing the ground and potentially compromising the integrity of future structures. However, when you choose site dumpers with low-impact flotation tyres, you’ll damage the ground far less. By looking after your surfaces, there is less re-work required to level things out after material removal.

Ease of operation

Naturally, you’d expect a high-quality site dumper to be extremely comfortable to use. While the basic operation of a site dumper is fairly simple, with controls for steering, driving and dumping, some added features never hurt. Suspension seats, sun canopies and air-conditioned cabins are a few of the perks you should look for if you want the best site dumpers on the market.

Safety features

No site dumper is worth its salt without an impressive list of safety features. Look for things like reversing cameras, working lights, emergency stop buttons, first aid kits and a range of other safety features. Work Health and Safety laws are strict in Australia, so anything you can do to improve construction site safety is a good thing.
