dump truck
Tilting cargo vehicle
A dump truck is a large vehicle with an open-box bed that tilts to unload loose materials like sand, gravel, or debris.
The hydraulic mechanism allows the bed to rise at one end, dumping its contents out the back or side.
Common on construction sites and in mining operations: Three dump trucks hauled dirt from the excavation site.
