If you’re moving soil, hardcore or muck-away by hand, a site dumper will transform your day. Here’s a quick guide to hiring one and using it safely.
How much can they carry?
Most popular ride-on and walk-behind site dumpers carry between 500kg and 1 tonne. For a typical garden or extension dig, a 1-tonne dumper paired with a mini digger is the sweet spot.
Using a dumper safely
- Keep the load low and travel with the skip empty where possible on slopes.
- Never overload — bulky materials like topsoil are heavier than they look.
- Watch your tipping ground; soft or uneven edges are the most common cause of incidents.
Dumpers are popular in spring and summer, so book ahead where you can. Request a quote and we’ll deliver across Norfolk and Suffolk and collect again at the end of your hire.
