While dumpers are used for moving dirt and soil on a construction site, these large machines can also be used for large-scale mud and debri removal following natural disasters like a flood or a landslide. Especially within territories characterised by natural fragility, dumpers can prove to be the best support to cope with emergencies. Further below we will go into detail about how the dumper is used in cleaning up the aftermaths of natural disasters and talk about its characteristic components.
What is a dumper?
A dumper is a large construction machine used to transport large quantities of earth, sand, gravel, crushed stone, rubble, concrete remains and much more. Because of this main function, it is widely used in the construction industry as well as the fields of gardening and agriculture.
How can Dumpers help in natural disasters?
In such a situation dumpers could be used in clearing roads and buildings of mud, dirt, and debris left behind by water. Dumpers help move debri out of the way especially if the emergency services are conducting a search and rescue. Dumpers can also be used to remove obstacles to getting people to safety or any debri possibly stuck on top of someone. In addition to this, the dumper must provide top-level performance with reduced manpower utilisation.
What should you look for in a Dumper?
- Manoeuvrability
For moving and removing mud within areas affected by landslides and overflows, it is first and foremost essential that the wheelbarrow ensures stability and excellent manoeuvrability. The dumper also easily moves over rough and steep grounds, slopes and uneven terrain.
- Speed
If working for emergency services you’ve got to be able to work quickly and efficiently. Speed allows for the rapid clearing of otherwise unusable areas as well as the rapid return to normalcy, something that may comfort shocked civilians.
