Thank goodness for whoever invented the mini dumper.

I have been using 2 for the past 2 years now and they are labour, time and back saving machines.

For the type of work I do, IE: difficult site retaining walls, they are fantastic.

You don't need a licence here like you do for a skid steer. They carry 800kg and are extremely low maintenance. We hardly ever use wheel barrows any more.

My staff love them. We just completed a large wall using Garden Wall for the lower walls and Keystone for the higher walls (2.5m high). They save a lot of back breaking work in tight areas.

There was 20 cubic metres, 50 tonne, of no fines concrete to be placed behind the walls. All of it was placed using the dumpers. We stack the blocks in them and drive them straight to the laying face. We also load them with excavated material and rubbish, and drive them up the ramps onto the back of the tippers and dump the load off.

Great for moving material up and down steep slopes.

I have the Avant Dumpers. Here Dingo also make them, but they are not as versatile.

I also hire them out to other contractors, hence the 'Spadework Solutions' stickers on the sides.
