Learn more about articulated dump trucks at Ritchie Bros.

Not all dump trucks are created equal, but most can be divided into two groups: rigid dump trucks and articulated dump trucks. A rigid dump truck features a rigid or fixed chassis that accommodates both the cab and body. An articulated dump truck has an articulated chassis. The truck cab (truck) and the rear tipping trough (trailer) meet at a pivot point just behind the cab. Instead of traditional rack and pinion steering used in rigid dump trucks, articulated dump trucks turn by turning at articulation points, commonly referred to as articulated steering.

Advantages of an articulated & off road dump trucks

With articulated steering, four-wheel drive and differential locks, today's articulated trucks offer many advantages over traditional rigid trucks. Bigger tires, wider frames and a lower center of gravity make Articulated Trucks ideal for extreme off-road conditions such as slopes and soft, muddy, icy or uneven terrain. Also, unlike the rigid chassis of the rigid chassis, the articulated frame of the articulated track is less likely to twist when driving over uneven ground.

What are the primary uses of articulated dump trucks?

Articulated dump trucks with sizes from 25 to 40 tons are the best option for moving soft ground compared to heavy rigid dump trucks. Articulated dump trucks are suitable for a variety of mining, quarrying and construction projects, including underground mining and tunneling.

Long hours but maximum comfort

Articulated dump truck drivers can work 8 to 16 hours a day on these projects. As a result of these long service hours, operator comfort is a primary concern for manufacturers of articulated haul trucks. Most articulated trucks today are equipped with heated seats, air conditioning and easy-to-use controls, and in the case of Volvo's new articulated trucks, they are equipped with an industry-first active control suspension system that reduces cab vibrations.
