Dump trucks are easy to unload, but do you know what driving skills are important?

Dump trucks have unique advantages in transportation. The loading compartment of the truck can automatically tip over at a certain angle to unload, saving unloading time and our working time. At the same time, it also shortens the transportation cycle, improves our work efficiency and saves costs. Therefore, dump trucks are becoming more and more popular with truck drivers, but when driving a dump truck, there are some places that need to be careful and careful. We have compiled some driving skills for dump trucks for you to take a look!

1. Driving precautions

When the dump truck starts, don't drive too hard, and pay attention to our driving visual blind spots. Don't force the gear shift. When the vehicle is driving, the chassis power take-off must stop, the manual operating valve must be in the middle stop position, and it is strictly forbidden to operate the manual operating valve to the lifting and lowering position. The goods in the compartment should be evenly distributed, and do not drive or dump with serious overload.

2. Unloading precautions

Before unloading, the dump truck must confirm that there are no people on both sides and the rear of the vehicle, and frequently check whether the lifting limit device is intact. Pay attention to making the vehicle stand firm during unloading. In addition, when the car body is lifted, the engine speed should be controlled within 2000r/min, especially after the car body is lifted to 40°, do not increase the throttle to avoid damage to the limit valve and other parts. Some drivers are very careless. After the dump truck has unloaded the material, they drive away directly without waiting for the cargo compartment to close the chassis frame, resulting in a heavy back and light front, which is likely to cause a rollover. Therefore, you must pay more attention to the entire process of unloading and driving away, and be careful to make the ship last forever.

3. Other precautions

Do not suddenly push the lifting handle to the lowering position in the middle of a fully loaded lift. If this operation occurs, the car body will rush down suddenly, which will bring a great impact to the frame and even cause an accident. Therefore, try to avoid the above operations. If there are special circumstances, you must also operate carefully, try to slow down the landing speed, and be sure not to drop the car body to the bottom suddenly.

We can't lift the car suddenly - brake hard to unload. Because the inertia force of lifting the vehicle violently is very large, it is easy to cause permanent deformation of the frame, welding of the carriage and auxiliary frame, damage to the hydraulic cylinder, etc., which will also reduce the service life of the vehicle, and in serious cases, rollover accidents may occur. Therefore, it is generally forbidden to drive a dump truck while it is lifted.
