A dump truck is a truck with a body that tilts mechanically (usually hydraulically) to unload cargo.
Although the loading capacity of a dump truck is less than that of a similar truck with a fixed loading platform, dump trucks are advantageous because of the reduction in unloading time.
The overturning of the body platform is carried out sideways and backwards most often by a hydraulic device, which is driven by the dump truck engine.
