Articulated Dump Truck

Product Overview

An Articulated Dump Truck (ADT) is a heavy-duty off-road hauling machine designed to transport large quantities of rock, soil, sand, aggregate, overburden and other bulk materials across rough, uneven or difficult terrain.

Unlike a conventional rigid dump truck, an ADT has a pivoting articulation joint between the tractor and dump body, allowing the machine to maneuver over uneven ground while maintaining traction. It is widely used in mining, quarrying, large-scale construction, road projects, earthworks and infrastructure development.

Modern ADTs typically combine an articulated chassis, all-wheel drive, automatic transmission, hydraulic steering and a hydraulically operated tipping body. Current commercial examples include the Caterpillar 745 and Volvo A45.
