The ADT can best be described as a motorized wheelbarrow, although it is much better than a wheelbarrow. It has the ability to haul some pretty good sized loads and it is very handy around almost any construction jobsite.
In fact, they may show up on a highway or street project, at airports where construction never stops and at large and small housing developments. andscaping contractors and town councils often use them. They carry sod turf, gravel, cement, trash, sandbags and marker cones.
Training is essential because Articulated Dumpers are used in so many different sites and locations.
