Most global brands offer both articulated dump trucks (ADTs) and rigid
dump trucks (RDTs), both designed for transporting soil, rocks, and
other materials on mining and construction sites.
In muddy,
slippery, or wet terrain, an articulated dump truck is the preferred
choice because it operates efficiently and balances well in all rugged
environments. It excels in tight and confined spaces.
For solid
or prepared ground, a rigid dump truck is ideal due to its superior
performance in such environments compared to articulated dump trucks. It
handles larger and heavier material volumes efficiently, especially in
open sites.
The significant flexibility of articulated dump
trucks lies in their articulated structure comprising two separate
components: a tractor and cab, and a trailer with the dump container.
These components move independently thanks to a hydraulic pivot point
between them.
In contrast, a rigid dump truck offers reliability in design as a single unit, which contributes to
