Load-bearing Capacity
Cargo Capacity: Dump trucks come in different specifications and models, with significant differences in their designed load-bearing weights. They can range from just a few tons to dozens or even hundreds of tons, which can meet the weight requirements for transporting materials under various working conditions. For example, medium-sized dump trucks commonly used on construction sites generally have a load-bearing capacity of around 10 to 30 tons, while large dump trucks used for mine transportation often have a load-bearing capacity reaching the hundreds of tons level. This determines the scale of materials transported in a single trip.Strength of the Truck Body Structure: The truck body needs to have sufficient strength to bear the weight of the cargo and avoid deformation during the processes of lifting and unloading. High-quality dump truck bodies are made of high-strength steel and have a rational structural design, such as reinforced side panels, bottom plates and strengthened connection parts, ensuring that they can stably carry heavy loads for a long time and provide a guarantee for reliable transportation.
Power Performance
Engine Power: A powerful engine is the foundation of good power for a dump truck. The power level of the engine affects the vehicle's starting, climbing, and driving speeds under different road conditions. For dump trucks that often operate in areas with complex road conditions and steep slopes, such as mines, they usually need to be equipped with high-power engines so that they can easily handle situations like climbing slopes while fully loaded and ensure transportation efficiency.Torque Output: Appropriate torque enables the dump truck to output relatively large force even at low speeds. It gives the truck an advantage when starting with a heavy load or passing through some poor road conditions like muddy and potholed areas, allowing the vehicle to overcome resistance and move forward more smoothly, thus avoiding problems such as getting stuck or having insufficient power to start.
Chassis Performance
Frame Strength: The frame is just like the "skeleton" of a vehicle. It should be able to withstand various impacts from the cargo in the truck body as well as during the driving process. A high-strength and high-toughness frame structure can ensure that the dump truck will not experience serious problems such as frame breakage under long-term heavy-load transportation, thus guaranteeing the overall reliability and service life of the vehicle.
Suspension System: A good suspension system can adapt to different road conditions and cushion the bumps on the road. On the one hand, it can improve the comfort of the driver and passengers. On the other hand, it helps to protect other parts of the vehicle from being loosened or damaged due to bumps. Moreover, it plays an important role in maintaining the stability and handling performance of the vehicle during driving, especially when the vehicle is fully loaded.
