What is an Articulated Truck?

An Articulated Dump Truck is the most common dump/haul truck you will see on a civil or mining site. They are purpose built trucks that are able to go over rough terrain to get the job done. The vehicle usually has all-wheel drive and consists of two basic units: the front section, generally called the tractor, and the rear section that contains the dump body, called the hauler or trailer section. 

It is important to follow all appropriate procedures and guidelines when operating an Articulated truck. This will ensure the belly dump is operated within applicable guidelines and that work is conducted in a safe manner.
