Efficient hauling across the roughest haul roads.
Articulated Dump Truck Buying Guide
Articulated dump trucks move material where rigid trucks cannot: soft haul roads, steep grades and wet sites. Payload, body volume and gradeability must be matched to your loading tool so that three to five passes fill the body — the classic rule that keeps cost per tonne down.
How to size a articulated dump truck
| Size class | Typical application | Configuration notes |
|---|---|---|
| 20 – 25 t payload | Site earthworks, road building | Matches 20 – 25 t excavators |
| 30 – 35 t payload | Quarries, dams | Matches 30 t+ excavators and large loaders |
| 40 t+ payload | Mining and bulk contracts | Highest productivity, heaviest haul-road demand |
Five checks before you place an order
- Match body volume to material density — heaped coal and wet clay need very different bodies.
- Check gradeability and retarder performance for your steepest loaded haul.
- Tailgate and body liners cut carry-back on sticky material.
- Confirm tyre supply locally; tyres are the largest running cost.
- Inspect the articulation joint and oscillation bearing carefully on any used unit.
FOB quotation & shipping process
Ordering is the same for every machine we export. Send us the model, configuration and destination port; we return an itemised FOB Qingdao quotation plus a CIF figure within 12 hours. A 30% deposit starts production or reservation, the balance is paid against the inspection report, loading photos and the copy bill of lading. We handle customs declaration, fumigation, lashing, marine insurance and the CE / EPA paperwork required at your port, and ship by container or RoRo from Qingdao, Shanghai and Tianjin every week.
