dumper truck

Bed-tilting vehicle

A dumper truck is a vehicle designed to transport and unload loose materials like sand, gravel, or debris.

The bed tilts or opens to dump its contents.

British English favors dumper truck or dump truck; American English typically uses dump truck.

The dumper truck backed up to the construction site and released its load of gravel.
