Efficiency from pit to plant
Designed for rapid material unloading, Dieci dump trucks are used across the construction industry to transport excavated material from worksites to designated stockpile areas.
Common on construction, landscaping and waste management projects, site dumpers deliver high productivity by quickly moving and unloading fill, rock, sand, fabricated components, and heavy tools.
Building contractors, fleet managers, and earthmoving specialists value dumpers for their ability to move excavation spoil and debris efficiently, cutting cycle times and labour requirements.
Dieci: lightweight, versatile and easy to handle
One of the most popular dump trucks in use is the Dieci DP7000, which has been recognised for being lightweight, versatile and easy to handle.
According to Dieci Australia National Sales Manager Bob Mules, the model reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to innovative
solutions that respond to evolving industry demands.
“The DP7000 site dumper has been designed to deliver high load capacity and durability in challenging conditions, with proven performance in mining, infrastructure works, and highway construction when transporting aggregates, asphalt, and road base materials,” he said.
“Major landscape contractors will find it highly efficient for moving mulch, soil and other bulky materials, while on demolition projects, it is ideal for removing rubble, bricks, and concrete waste to clear the way for new construction.
“The dumper is particularly effective on jobs where handling large volumes while reducing work cycles is a priority.”
Built with the same Italian design quality that underpins Dieci’s telehandlers, the DP7000 uses industry-standard components and delivers an impressive load capacity. Maintenance is straightforward, with durable components and a practical design that enables easy access for servicing.
Safe and productive
Operator comfort and ergonomics have been placed at the centre of the DP7000’s design to support both safety and productivity. Intuitive, well arranged controls make the dumper easy and comfortable to drive throughout long shifts. “Cab access has been improved, with a redesigned entry and a double folding door that provides the widest dumper access door on the market,” Bob said.
“Visibility in low light or dusty conditions is enhanced by four lights on the front and rear of the cab, backed by powerful vehicle headlights for safer operation at all times of day.
“An inching pedal allows precise machine control during delicate tasks such as positioning under conveyors or working close to structures.”
All-terrain tyres, four-wheel steering and four-wheel drive combine to deliver excellent stability and traction across difficult ground conditions. A two speed servo-controlled reduction gearbox and hydrostatic drive system provide precise movement, maximum travel speed, and the torque required for demanding haul cycles.
Safety features include a reversible driving seat and controls, with large, curved cab windows providing a 360-degree view of the work area for continuous situational awareness. The 180-degree reversible driving seat ensures the steering wheel and wheels remain correctly aligned when the seat is rotated.
Rugged and strong
Dieci attributes the dumper’s all-terrain credentials to its PX off road chassis, which has demonstrated its capability in some of Australia’s harshest environments. The machine is fitted with a wet brake system on the front and rear axles, an important feature for tunnelling and underground mining, as wet brakes reduce spark risk, remain protected from contaminants, and benefit from cooling and lubrication to minimise wear and prevent warping.
Despite its robust build, the DP7000 is described as lightweight, easy to handle, and highly agile, allowing operators to work confidently in confined areas. Its large loading capacity accelerates the movement, handling and removal of materials, delivering a boost to on-site productivity.
Compact and comfortable
The Dieci DP7000 dumper offers a smaller footprint than standard trucks, with a tight turning circle that stands out among machines in its class.
This compact form factor does not come at the expense of capacity, with the model delivering a generous payload for its size.
Powered by an FPT 93kW engine, the 6800kg DP7000 has a maximum capacity of 12,000kg and can carry heaped loads of up to 7.5 cubic metres.
Measuring just 2350mm wide and 3090mm high, the dumper is compact enough to operate effectively on excavation and construction sites, as well as in places where high capacity and efficient material removal are essential. Permanent all-wheel drive underpins stability and control, while three steering modes – four wheel, transversal and two wheel – allow operators to tailor manoeuvrability to site conditions. The machine’s tight turning radius further supports productivity on constrained work sites where frequent changes of direction are required.
“A major design objective was safety and operator comfort,” Bob said.
“The vehicle is equipped with an enclosed ROPS/FOPS-rated cabin that includes powerful air conditioning for effective air circulation, convenient double swing doors, soundproofing, an adjustable steering wheel, and an air suspension seat.”
For specialised tasks, a range of local customisation options is available, enabling owners to maximise productivity and safety while meeting specific site compliance requirements.
