Site Dumpers for Sale (413)
Dumpers can mean anything – but to help you find the plant machinery you are looking for, the site dumpers for sale on these pages are typically the three to nine tonne front tipping skip-style dumpers seen on construction sites across the country. Typically basic, hard working machines, the site dumpers will leave the operator open to the elements with simply a Roll Over Protection bar (ROPS) or perhaps even a Falling Objects Protection system, (FOPS) – or canopy to the casual observer. Usually articulated, you may need to buy a swivel tip version , rather than a straight tip – especially if the site working conditions are narrow. Since these dumpers are always working on site in arduous conditions, the majority will feature four wheel drive. For more treacherous conditions, consider browsing the Plantpages tracked dumpers category.
