As mineral resources in Africa continue to be developed, standard rear-dump trailers—limited to a maximum design capacity of 50 cubic meters—can no longer meet the demands of mining transport operations. Consequently, efficient and reliable transport solutions have become the backbone of modern mining and infrastructure projects. HONGTAI Group has successfully completed the manufacturing and final inspection of four 100-ton side-dump semi-trailers, custom-built for a client in Guinea, West Africa.
Side Tipper Trailer vs End Dump Trailer
Trailer Type | Side Tipper Trailer | End Dump Trailer |
Unloading Direction | Left- or right-side tipping discharge | Rear-dump unloading |
Stability | Low center of gravity, high stability | High center of gravity, low stability |
Load Capacity | Exceptional load-bearing capacity of 80–120 tons; load capacity can be increased by extending the vehicle body and adding axles. | The maximum design capacity is 50 cubic meters. If the capacity is too large, it is easy to cause a tilting accident during the unloading process. |
Carriage Length | Unlimited length (13 meters, 15 meters, or even longer) | Length limitation (if too long, it is extremely prone to overturning when lifted) |
Type of Transported Goods | Ore, aluminum ore, sand, soil, large chunks of materials | Materials with good fluidity such as: sand, coal, ores, etc. |
