Key Factors to Consider When Buying a Dump Truck
1. Chassis carrying capacity:
Choose the appropriate carrying capacity according to your transportation needs, such as light trucks, medium-tonnage or large-tonnage series dump trucks.
2. Drive type:
Choose the appropriate drive type according to the working environment, such as single-axle, double-axle, front four and rear eight or front four and rear ten.
3. Unloading hydraulic lifting mechanism:
Decide whether you need a single-top dump or a double-top dump, which depends on the unloading efficiency and reliability you want to achieve.
4. Economy:
Consider the price, loading quality and overload capacity of the chassis, as well as fuel consumption.
5. Safety:
Check the height of the upper plane of the chassis frame from the ground to ensure that the center of gravity of the vehicle is moderate to avoid the risk of rollover.
Check the length of the rear overhang of the chassis to ensure that it does not affect the lifting stability of the dump truck.
6. Compatibility:
Make sure that the configuration of the selected vehicle can meet your actual use needs, and the overall matching is reasonable and reliable.
7. Service and support:
Understand the after-sales service and support provided by the manufacturer, including warranty terms, spare parts supply and maintenance network coverage.
8. Depreciation and cost:
Evaluate the estimated service life and depreciation cost of the vehicle, taking into account the costs of maintenance, insurance and driver wages during the use of the vehicle.
9. Environmental standards:
Comply with local emission standards and select vehicle models that meet the regulations.
10. Operational convenience:
Confirm that the vehicle's operating system is consistent with the driver's habits and skill level.
11. Brand reputation:
Consider the brand's market reputation and user feedback, and choose a reputable manufacturer.
12. Future demand:
Estimate the possibility of future business development and select vehicles that can adapt to future business growth.
