Is a single axle dump truck right for me?
With over 500 single axle dumpers to browse from, you'll come across a variety of brands and models and each model
has unique specifications. If you're new to the world of dump trucks there's a variety of things to consider before
buying a dump truck.
Hauling requirements & specifications
First and foremost, you should assess your hauling needs to determine if a single axle dump truck can handle the
materials and quantities you need to haul. Single axle dump trucks typically have a payload capacity of up to 10
tons, so if you require larger hauling capacity, a tandem axle dump truck may be
a better choice.
Type of work
Single axle dump trucks are highly preferable for smaller contract type jobs like businesses that need to haul and
dump materials for smaller jobs. Some common businesses that own and operate small dump trucks are landscaping,
driveway repair, and small-scale construction jobs.
Once you have determined the type of job your dump truck will be used for, its important to note that single axle
dump trucks have greater maneuverability
than tandem axles trucks, and can work better in tight spaces.
Friendly budget
Single axle dump trucks are generally less expensive than larger trucks, both in terms of initial purchase price and
ongoing maintenance costs. If you have a smaller budget or are just starting out in the industry, a single axle dump
truck may be a more affordable choice.
A lot of factors influence the price of used vehicles such as mileage, overall condition, and specifications, and at
Ritchie List, you'll find single axle dump trucks starting as low as $5000 USD with brand new commercial single axle
dump trucks around $100,000
