Kippfahrzeug

A Kippfahrzeug, also known as a dump truck or tipper truck, is a vehicle used for transporting loose material for construction and other industries. It is characterized by a hydraulic system that lifts the front of the truck bed, allowing the material to be dumped out the back or sides. The body of the truck is typically a large, open-bed container.

Kippfahrzeuge come in various sizes and configurations, ranging from small, single-axle trucks to large, multi-axle articulated vehicles. They are commonly used for hauling materials such as sand, gravel, demolition waste, and aggregate. The lifting mechanism allows for rapid unloading of large quantities of material, making them highly efficient for large-scale projects.

The design of a Kippfahrzeug prioritizes durability and the ability to withstand heavy loads. The chassis is robust, and the bed is constructed from strong materials like steel. Different types of Kippfahrzeuge exist, including rear-dump trucks, side-dump trucks, and bottom-dump trucks, each suited for specific unloading requirements. The operation of the tipping mechanism is typically controlled from the driver's cabin.
