An articulated dump truck (ADT), also known as a dump hauler or a very large, heavy-duty dump truck, is used to move cargo across difficult terrain and sometimes on public roadways.
The vehicle typically has all-wheel drive and is made up of two fundamental components: the front part, which is commonly referred to as the tractor, and the back section, which houses the dump body and is sometimes referred to as the hauler or trailer section.
Hydraulic rams are used to pivot the front in proportion to the back to provide steering. The chassis have been utilised for a variety of other purposes over the years, including construction, mining, agricultural, and highway maintenance, despite being originally designed as a dirt and gravel transporter (dumper).
The Global ADT Transmission market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Doosan introduced its brand-new ADT (all-wheel drive) articulated dump truck. The new 44 variant of the DA45-7 ADT is designed to compete with rigid dump trucks (RDTs) in the 40-tonne class, complementing the company’s standard, market-leading line of 66 ADT models.
Doosan’s market-leading lineup of Stage V compliant 66 ADTs currently includes the DA30-7 and DA45-7 models, with payloads of 28 and 41 tonnes, respectively. The new 44 DA45-7 ADT rounds out this lineup.
The front truck and cab unit in the new 44 ADT is identical to the front truck and cab unit in the old 66 model; only the rear dumper unit has been modified.
The new 44 machine is designed to rival RDTs in the 40-tonne class by offering a dumper product that delivers significantly more than RDTs, with superior operating on poorer roads, smoother surfaces, and steeper terrain. The new 44 DA45-7 ADT has a width of less than 4 m to prevent the need for special transportation and gives a better turning radius than a comparable RDT.
It also performs better in conditions that are challenging for RDTs. Particular benefits are provided in the mining and tunnelling industries by the rear dumper unit’s design, which is better adapted to hauling flat and large rocks, and the vehicle’s smaller turning radius.
ADTs are also widely used by bulk earthmoving and construction companies working on development projects including building roads, dams, airports and landfills. These markets together make the ADT market big and diverse, providing a sizable consumer base.
