Maansiirtoauto

Maansiirtoauto, often referred to as a dump truck or tipper truck in English-speaking countries, is a heavy-duty vehicle designed for transporting loose materials such as sand, gravel, demolition waste, and soil. Its primary distinguishing feature is the open-box bed, or skip, which is hinged at the rear and equipped with hydraulic rams to lift the front, allowing the load to be deposited on the ground behind the truck.

These vehicles are essential in construction, mining, and quarrying industries. They come in various sizes and configurations, from smaller rigid trucks to massive articulated haulers that can carry hundreds of tons. Articulated dump trucks are particularly adept at navigating rough terrain and inclines due to their pivot-steer mechanism, which provides excellent maneuverability.

The operation of a maansiirtoauto involves loading the material, transporting it to the designated location, and then unloading it by tipping the bed. Safety is a key consideration, with features like robust chassis, powerful braking systems, and driver assistance technologies designed to handle the weight and operational demands. The design prioritizes durability and the ability to withstand harsh working conditions.
