About Dumpers

Dumpers (also often called “site dumpers”) are machines that move bulk materials on a worksite. They are available with wheels or tracks and have rigid or articulated chassis. The skip (container or bucket) sits either in front of or behind the operator station, which may be relative as some models have seats and controls that swivel 180 degrees to put the operator in optimal position for loading and unloading or driving. The skip may unload to the back, side, or front, depending on where the load rides.

Wacker Neuson DW60 Dumper

While some dumpers have small platforms for the operator to stand on, many have seats that may or may not feature rollover protection systems (ROPS) for improved safety. Others have fully enclosed cabs, some of which are heated to allow for comfortable operation during inclement weather and in the cold, but regardless of the style of cab, most dumpers offer 360 degrees of visibility.

Site dumpers typically work in tandem with an excavator or a similar piece of equipment that loads dirt, rock, and other materials into the skip, although some models, like the Wacker Neuson D10 track dumper, have the option to attach a self-loading shovel for added versatility. They often have capacities ranging from 900 and 10,000 kilograms (2,000 to 22,000 pounds), making them ideal for small- to medium-sized jobs when compared to larger-capacity dump trucks. Their compact size also comes in handy for working on jobsites with tight quarters or height and width restrictions.

Popular Examples

One of the more popular dumper models is the Wacker Neuson DW60 wheel dumper. Powered by a 74-horsepower (55-kilowatt) Tier 4 Final Perkins engine, the DW60 has an operating weight of 4,866 kg (10,728 lbs) and maximum payload capacity of 6,000 kg (13,228 lbs). The skip has a leveled, heaped, and water capacity of 2.35, 3.2, and 1.66 cubic metres (3.07, 4.19, and 2.17 cubic yards), respectively. It comes standard with a ROPS frame with an option to add an awning. It also has a top speed of 26 km/h (16 mph).

Another example is the JCB 9T-I site dumper, which features a 74-HP Tier 4 Final JCB EcoMAX engine. This machine has a max payload capacity of 9,000 kg (19,842 lbs) and a max bucket capacity of 4.5 cu m (5.9 cu yds). While it comes standard with a ROPS/FOPS level II folding frame, there is also an option for a folding ROPS frame as well as a heated Sitesafe cab that JCB says is designed to withstand a front dump impact and side slewing impact from a 13,154-kg (29,000-lb) excavator.
