What is a 6-tonne dumper?

Why a 6-tonne dumper is the best option for your job

If you’re about to undertake a job that requires the shifting of rubble or dirt, then a dumper should be near the top of your list. You’d be forgiven for thinking that when it comes to the right dumper for your job, bigger is better. But this is a common misconception, if you’re to hire a 9-ton dumper from Tiger Plant you will require an operator or the appropriate qualification to operate machinery over 8 tonnes.

This is why the 6-tonne dumper makes the most sense. The maximum size dumper that doesn’t require a qualification to operate. One of the most popular 6-tonne dumpers available is the Mecalac/Terex 6T Dumper. It is specially designed to keep you going in the toughest working conditions. With its powerful engine and reinforced thick steel skip it is built to take on the harsh weather conditions that an all-year-round dumper would normally face.
