PICTORIAL CHECKLIST
DUMP TRUCK
A dump truck, known also as a dumping truck, dump trailer,
dumper trailer, dump lorry or dumper lorry or a dumper for short, is used for
transporting materials (such as dirt, gravel, or demolition waste) for
construction as well as coal. A typical dump truck is equipped with an open-box
bed, which is hinged at the rear and equipped with hydraulic rams to lift the
front, allowing the material in the bed to be deposited ("dumped") on
the ground behind the truck at the site of delivery. In the UK, Australia,
South Africa and India the term applies to off-road construction plants only
and the road vehicle is known as a tip lorry, tipper lorry (UK, India), tipper
truck, tip truck, tip trailer or tipper trailer or simply a tipper (Australia,
New Zealand, South Africa).

A loader is a heavy equipment machine used in construction to move or load materials such as soil, rock, sand, demolition debris, etc. into or onto another type of machinery (such as a dump truck, conveyor belt, feed-hopper, or railroad car).
There are many types of loader, which, depending on design
and application, are variously called a bucket loader, front loader, front-end
loader, payloader, high lift, scoop, shovel, skip loader, wheel loader, or
skid-steer.
