Transfer Dumper Trucks and Accident Claims

Transfer Dump Trucks
The transfer dump truck is a standard dump truck which then pulls a separate trailer which can be loaded with construction materials like aggregate. These include gravel, sand, wood chips etc). The separate container is powered by either an electric, pneumatic motor or hydraulic line. Transfer trucks are typically seen in the US though as the weight restrictions on Western highways.

Truck and Pup
This is similar to the transfer dump but unlike the transfer has its own hydraulic ram and is capable of self-unloading.

These are just some of the dumper trucks that can be seen on the roads and within construction sites. Any operator using either the transfer dump or the truck and pup needs to know what they are doing and the correct way to load and unload the trucks. This is important as overloading may cause the truck to tip over or cause another accident which might result in an accident claim or personal injury.
