Dump your Load Safely
Dumping:
-Operators should be trained to recognize areas hazardous to dumping, such as soft or uneven surfaces and inadequately compacted fill.
-Before dumping, operators should ensure that the tailgate is unlocked and that the vehicle is on a reasonably level surface. Dumping on surfaces that are not level is one of the main causes of tip-overs.
-Before spreading material by dumping it from a moving truck, make sure that the entire length of travel is reasonably level.
-Trucks should not dump when they are parked side by side with another vehicle. When a dump unit tips over, it is often the operator in the adjoining vehicle who is injured. Dumping operations should be spread out.
-Other personnel such as dozer operators, surveyors, and spotters should be warned not to work near a dumping truck in case it tips over.
-Workers on foot should not congregate in areas where dumping is under way.

Smaller versions of these trucks and diggers are also available for farms and other places in which the average Joe might need them. You'll be amazed on the variety of things they can do.

A dump truck is typically used to haul construction waste, sand, gravel, and other similar items. Dump Truck Vancouver Most dump trucks have an open box bed on them which is able to be raised by hydraulics so the contents may be deposited behind the truck.
