Dieci’s nimble and versatile heavy duty dump trucks
Dump trucks serve a multitude of applications across different industries. With their ability to handle heavy loads while manoeuvring in tight spaces, they can operate on sites where deployment of a road truck is impractical.
Designed for rapid material unloading, dump trucks are used throughout the mining industry for transporting extracted materials from mines to processing sites or stockpiles.
Their use is also increasing in applications across the construction, landscaping and waste management industries. Their ability to quickly unload makes them a high productivity resource on sites for carrying gravel, sand, backfill, fabricated materials and tools.
Major earthmoving contractors have recognised the high productivity and efficiency of dumpers in performing tasks such as moving rocks, excavation spoil and debris after excavation.
Easy to handle
Dieci Australia’s National Sales Manager, Bob Mules said “Dieci dump trucks have been well received in all markets for being lightweight, versatile and easy to handle. Two models have been introduced as part of the Dieci commitment to innovative solutions for meeting ever-changing industry demands.
“Both the DP4200 and DP7000 site dumpers have been designed around a high load capacity and durability for applications such mining, infrastructure works and municipal roadwork to carry materials like aggregate, asphalt and road base materials.
“Major landscape contractors will find them highly efficient in delivering mulch, soil, and other bulky materials. On demolition sites they are the perfect vehicle to help clear sites for new construction by the rapid removal of rubble, bricks, and concrete debris.
“They are ideal for environments needing to handle large volumes and reduce work cycles, and feature straightforward maintenance by using durable, long-lasting components, “he said.
Designed with the same quality Italian design as its telehandlers, the Dieci range of dump trucks offers robust construction and is manufactured using industry standard parts. The Dieci DP4200 and DP7000 models both offer impressive load capacities of 8,000 and 12,000kg respectively.
Operator comfort for safety and productivity
Recognising the importance of operator comfort for safety and efficiency, thoughtfully arranged controls make operation straightforward, easy and comfortable.
Easier and safer access to the cabin is a welcome design enhancement, with the addition of a double folding door which is the widest dumper access door on the market.
Maximum visibility in low light or dusty environments has also been addressed by four lights on the front and rear of the cab along with powerful vehicle headlights. There is also an inching pedal that adds precision and productivity for delicate operations.
Maximum stability and traction is achieved from the use of tyres suitable for all terrains, assisted by four-wheel steer and four-wheel drive. Both models are equipped with a two-speed servo-controlled reduction gearbox and a hydrostatic drive system which ensures precise movement, maximum speed and all the torque needed for the job.
Advanced safety awareness is provided by a reversible driving seat and controls, while the operator has a complete 360-degree view of the working area thanks to the cab’s large, curved windows that ensure uninterrupted visibility.
“The reversible 180-degree driving seat allows the steering wheel and wheels to work in sync when the seat is reversed 180-degrees, making Dieci’s dump trucks the perfect solution where there is restricted access in tunnelling and mining applications.
Rugged and strong
“Built with the proven Dieci PX off-road chassis, these hard-working and reliable dumper trucks have successfully demonstrated their tough off-road capabilities in some of the harshest environments found in Australia. Their rugged engineering and design make them ideal for handling materials in construction, mining or industrial environments.
“Designed for strength, reliability, and a long product life cycle, Dieci dump trucks are engineered to withstand the rigours of demanding environments. This makes them eminently suited to the practical challenges of construction, tunnelling and mining sites where efficient and smooth operations are critical.
The Dieci dumpers are equipped with a wet brake system for front and rear wheels, making the vehicles ideal for tunnelling and mining applications. Wet brakes eliminate spark risk, stay clean from contaminants, and benefit from cooling and lubrication to reduce wear and prevent warping.
“Despite their sturdy and robust construction, Dieci’s dump trucks are lightweight and easy to handle, agile, and user-friendly to easily let the operator navigate limited working spaces. Their substantial loading capacity accelerates the tasks of transporting, handling or removing material, significantly boosting productivity on site.” Mules added.
Compact and powerful DP7000
The Dieci DP7000 dumper has the advantage of a much smaller footprint than standard trucks, with a small turning circle unparalleled by any other machines in its class. At the same time, despite the compact size, this dumper offers the benefit of a super-generous payload capacity.
Powered by an FPT 93kW engine, the 6360kg Dieci DP 7000 dumper has a maximum capacity of 12,000kg, while carrying heaped load volumes up to 7.5 cubic metres.
At just 2,350mm wide and a height of 3,090mm, this dumper is sufficiently compact to navigate excavation and construction sites and other operations in restricted spaces, such as tunnel sites where maximum capacity is crucial for efficient material removal.
Permanent all-wheel drive ensures stability and control, while three steering modes let the operator select from four wheels, transversal, and two wheels. The Dieci DP7000 dumpers have a tight turning radius to enable them to manoeuvre around the tightest of work sites.
“A major design objective was safety and operator comfort. The vehicle is equipped with a fully enclosed ROPS- FOPS rated cabin that has powerful air conditioning for perfect air circulation, convenient double swing doors, sound proofing, an adjustable steering wheel and an air suspension seat.
DP4200 Dumper
With a weight of 5000kg and a 74kW FPT engine, the smaller Dieci DP4200 dumper is capable of carrying a respectable 5.3 cubic metres of heaped load. It shares the same innovative design features that contribute to the performance of both Dieci dumpers.
“If specialised applications are needed, there is a comprehensive range of localised custom options available to ensure you can achieve maximum productivity and safety, while meeting appropriate site compliance specifications.
