A standard dump truck is a heavy-duty vehicle designed for transporting loose materials like sand, gravel, or dirt. It features a large open-box bed that can be raised at the front, allowing the contents to be easily unloaded. This makes it ideal for construction sites, road work, and landscaping projects. Typically, standard dump trucks are equipped with a hydraulic lift system that raises the bed. They come in various sizes and configurations, including single-axle and tandem-axle models, to accommodate different loads and terrains. Their robust design ensures they can handle heavy materials efficiently.
