Dump trucks are mostly used for construction – they’re used to haul sand, gravel, debris, dirt, and other loads. A typical dump truck is basically an open truck bed with tall sides that are attached to a frame on a chassis. They use a hydraulic lift to tip the front of the bed of the truck and drop the load on the appropriate spot (the back of the bed has hinges so that it can open to deposit the load.)
