The standard dimensions of the dump truck body for a 4x2 axle configuration with dual rear axles are: 1120mm*1180mm*1015mm. Additional information: 1. Introduction to the 4x2 axle configuration with dual rear axles dump truck: This configuration features two front steering axles with four wheels (dual front axles) and two rear drive axles (dual rear axles) with eight wheels in total. The term '4x2 with dual rear axles' refers to four wheels in the front and eight wheels at the rear. The front has two axles with four wheels (two wheels per axle), while the rear also has two axles but with eight wheels (four wheels per axle, two on each side). 2. Classification of dump truck bodies: Dump truck bodies are categorized into rear-dumping and side-dumping types, controlled by a hydraulic piston system. Rear-dumping is more common, with a few models offering bidirectional dumping capability.
As a veteran dumper truck driver with over a decade of experience, I know this issue inside out. There's no fixed size for the front-four-rear-eight cargo box—it mainly depends on the job. For earthmoving, the box length typically ranges from 7.5 to 8.6 meters, with heights varying between 1.2 to 1.8 meters. However, the width is now strictly capped under 2.4 meters—I even measured it when helping a relative pick up a new truck last year, and manufacturers dare not exceed 2.35 meters these days. But here's a tip: if you're hauling gravel, opt for a 5mm-thick floor plate. My buddy cheaped out on thinner plates last time, and they warped and started leaking sand within six months. Wheelbase is crucial too—anything over 4.3 meters makes turning cumbersome but significantly improves load stability.
I specialize in custom truck bodies and just completed two coal transport vehicles for a client in Shanxi. The dimensions of these dump truck bodies are primarily adjusted based on cargo density: for coal transport, we recommend a low-side design of 7.2m×2.35m×1.2m to save fuel when empty; for gravel hauling, a reinforced 8.3m×2.35m×1.6m body with welded anti-leak strips on the rear gate is required. From a compliance perspective, the total height of vehicle and cargo must not exceed 4 meters - last year a client got fined in Zhengzhou for exceeding sideboard height limits. Using Wuhan Steel's Q550 high-strength plates makes the most durable bodies, lasting three years longer than standard plates.
