HAULING AND HORIZONTAL

TRANSPORTATION
EQUIPMENTS
 HAULING is the activity of transporting goods
by truck.
 The different equipments used for hauling and
horizontal transportation in construction are-
 DUMP TRUCKS
 TRAILERS
 EARTHMOVERS
 TRANSIT MIX TRUCKS

DUMP TRUCKS
 Dump trucks or production trucks are those
that are used for transporting loose material
such as sand, dirt, and gravel for construction.
 The typical dump truck is equipped with a
hydraulically operated open box bed hinged at
the rear, with the front being able to be lifted up
to allow the contents to fall out on the ground at
the site of delivery.
 Dump trucks come in many different

configurations with each one specified to
accomplish a specific task in the construction
chain.
Standard dump truck
 The standard dump truck is a full truck chassis

with the dump body mounted onto the frame.
 The dump body is raised by a hydraulic ram

lift that is mounted forward of the front
bulkhead, normally between the truck cab and
the dump body.
Transfer dump truck
 For the amount of noise made when transferring, the

transfer dump truck is easy to recognize.
 It’s a standard dump truck that pulls a separate trailer
which can be loaded with sand, asphalt, gravel, dirt, etc.
 The B box or aggregate container on the trailer is
powered by an electric motor and rides on wheels and
rolls off of the trailer and into the main dump box.
 The biggest advantage with this configuration is to
maximize payload capacity without having to sacrifice
the maneuverability of the short and nimble dump truck
standards.
Semi trailer end dump truck
 The semi end dump truck is a tractor trailer combination

where the trailer itself contains the hydraulic hoist.
 The advantage to having a semi end dump truck is rapid
unloading.
Semi trailer bottom dump truck
 A bottom dump truck is a 3 axle tractor that pulls a 2

axle trailer with a clam shell type dump gate in the belly
of the trailer.
 The biggest advantage of a semi bottom dump truck is
the ability to lay material in a wind row.
Side dump trucks
 Side dump trucks consist of a 3 axle trailer pulling a 2

axle semi trailer.
 It offers hydraulic rams that tilt the dump body onto the
side, which spills the material to the left or right side of
the trailer.
 The biggest advantages with these types of dump trucks
are that they allow rapid unloading and carry more
weight than other dump trucks.
 In addition to this, side dump trucks are almost
impossible to tip over while dumping, unlike the semi
end dump trucks which are very prone to being upset or
tipped over.
 The length of these trucks impede maneuverability and
limit versatility.
Off road dump trucks
 Off road trucks resemble heavy construction

equipment more than they do highway dump trucks.
 They are used strictly for off road mining and heavy
dirt hauling jobs, such as excavation work.
 They are very big in size, and perfect for those time
when you need to dig out roads and need something to
haul the massive amounts of dirt to another location.
 Typical loads moved by heavy haulers under escort on
highways include industrial plant, prefabricated
sections for construction projects, giant power
transformers, turbines, and houses (generally made of
timber).
DUMPER
 Dumper is a vehicle designed for carrying bulk material, often
on building sites.
 Dumpers are distinguished from dump trucks by configuration:
a dumper is usually an open 4-wheeled vehicle with the load
skip in front of the driver, while a dump truck has its cab in front
of the load. The skip can tip to dump the load.
 A towing eye is fitted for secondary use as a site tractor.
EARTHMOVERS
 The primary earth-moving machine is the heavy-duty
tractor, which, when fitted with endless tracks to grip
the ground and with a large, movable blade attached
in front, is called a bulldozer.
 Bulldozers are used to clear brush or debris, remove
boulders, and level ground.
 A scraper is a machine that may be pulled by a
tractor or may be self-powered. It consists of a blade
and a box or container. Dirt is scraped by the blade
into the container; the dirt may then be released so as
to form an even layer of a predetermined thickness, or
be carried off for disposal elsewhere.
 Scrapers are used to level and contour land, as in road
construction.
TRANSIT MIX TRUCKS

and then is loaded into the truck.
The ready mix truck maintains the
material's liquid state, through
agitation, or turning of the drum,
until delivery.)
