Salvage Dump Trucks in New Zealand

If there is one constant in construction and mining operations, it’s that there is always a whole lot of material and debris that needs to be hauled around. Off-highway trucks, including dump trucks, are specially designed for this purpose and are built to withstand punishing environments to get the job done. In this category, you’ll find smaller trucks made for lower capacity jobs as well as massive trucks that are dozens of feet tall and support maximum payload capacities in the hundreds of tons.

Caterpillar off-highway trucks show off the many configuration options you’ll run across in this space. The company sells off-highway trucks with bare chassis that can be transformed for a wide range of applications, plus many more traditional models. For example, the Cat 770 line of off-highway trucks has nominal payload capacities of 40 tons and top speeds of up to 46.5 mph while loaded. And the Cat 797F mining truck has a nominal payload capacity of 400 tons, 4,000 gross horsepower, and a top speed of 42 mph while loaded.

Other manufacturers you’ll find in the off-highway truck category include John Deere, Komatsu, Terex, and Volvo.
