a vehicle to put the most value into your work to make a more efficient and better living. There are many factors to consider when choosing the right dump truck for your job. Based on the roads and terrain you travel, the material you're transporting, and each payload's size, you will
need an engine and transmission with different horsepower, torque, etc. You may benefit from different truck sizes, tire sizes, and various other options.
Here are some primary considerations:
Horsepower - Don't waste money on more horsepower than you need. If you carry light loads and travel on flat terrain, a dump truck at the low end, with around 400 horsepower, is a good investment. For jobs involving
heavy loads and rough roads, you'll want to consider
dump trucks with upwards of 600 horsepower.

Axles - Dump trucks generally come with two, three, or four axles. More axles provide a smoother ride across bumpy roads, prevent your payload from shifting in
transit, and may be required by local ordinances.
Based on what you're hauling and where you're going, we'll help decide if a tandem-axle, tri-axle, or quad-axle dump truck is right for you.
Body - The material used to make your dump trucks can also affect their weight. Aluminum and fiberglass can
lower weight, providing a higher-limit maximum load and better fuel economy. However, if you're hauling stone or other abrasive materials, steel will give a more robust, longer-lasting hull.
Once you find your truck, you need a plan.
municipalities need the freedom and control of owning
their dump trucks. In contrast, others may prefer the flexibility in time and budget provided by a lease or rental. We'll talk you through purchase, lease, and rental options available at Gabrielli on new and used dump trucks to ensure you've got the best plan for you.
