Payload Capacity: They typically range from 500 kg to 3 tonnes in capacity, but the 1-tonne versions (like the Twaites 1 Tonne Hi-Tip) are common and can carry around 1000 kg of material. Hydraulic Tipping: The "Hi-Tip" version features a hydraulic system that enables the skip (the container that holds the material) to tip higher than standard dumpers, allowing for easier unloading over walls or into skips. Terrain Handling: Many mini dumpers come with 4WD (four-wheel drive) and large, durable tyres that enable them to handle rough, uneven terrain, including steep slopes. Versatility: They are commonly used for hauling a wide range of materials, including soil, gravel, sand, construction debris, and even rubble. Ease of Operation: Mini dumpers typically have simple controls, often with a hydrostatic drive system, which makes them easy to operate, even by individuals with little experience. Safety: Many models feature roll-over protection, stability bars, and safe operating speeds, making them safer for operators working in challenging conditions. Twaites 1 tonne Hi-Tip mini dumper.
