Wheeled dumpers

Powered by either the traditional 18.1kW Yanmar engine, delivering 107 Nm max torque, or the all-new 48V Electric drive pack using four maintenance-free, long-life, lithium-ion (dry cell) batteries rated at 22kWh.

Machines are also equipped with a Spring Activated Hydraulic Release (SAHR) handbrake for enhanced control.

These machines are available in a range of configurations to best suit your needs:

• Hi Swivel;
• Front Tip;
• Hydrostatic Transmission;
• Electric Drive.

These adaptable machines have a fully welded 6 mm steel plate skip with reinforced box section fitted to the mouth and sides to minimise skip damage.

The Thwaites 3 tonne, Stage V dumpers are available in a range of configurations to best suit your needs:

• Power Swivel;
• Front Tip;
• Hydrostatic Transmission;
• Electric Drive.

Diesel machines are powered by a 18.1kW Yanmar engine, delivering 107 Nm max torque via an easy-to-use hydrostatic transmission. Alternatively choose the all-new 48V Electric drive pack which uses four maintenance-free, long-life, lithium-ion (dry cell) batteries rated at 22kWh. The battery pack drives two highly efficient electric motors (one for traction, one for the hydraulic services) giving the operator the control and manoeuvrability expected from a Thwaites dumper.

These robust and reliable machines have a fully welded 6 mm steel plate skip with reinforced box section fitted to the mouth and sides to minimise skip damage. Easy to service and maintain with market leading residuals.

Standard equipment includes a Spring Applied Hydraulic Release (SAHR) Handbrake, ROPS frame, towing bracket, LED beacons and a reverse alarm.

Powered by a 3.3L Yanmar turbo diesel engine fitted with a DPF to comply with EU stage V emission regulations. With 55.4kW, 405 Nm max torque and no AdBlue, these machines are available in a range of configurations to suit your needs:

• Power Swivel;
• Front Tip;
• ROPS+ on all non-cabbed machines;
• Fully Cabbed Level 2 FOPS;
• Hydrostatic Transmission.

Additional equipment fitted to individual 2025 models varies but may include a Spring Activated Hydraulic Release (SAHR) Handbrake, inclinometer, front and rear cameras, with a 5” screen mounted in a new dashboard, hi-vis steps, LED road lights and twin LED beacons.

An articulated dumper with a 3-tonne (6,600 lb) payload, a side-tipping skip and hydrostatic transmission. One of the main strengths of this model is that its design is based on the 4.5-tonne (9,900 lb) dumper. The same chassis, hydrostatic transmission and engine cooling. All installed on a dumper with a lower payload to achieve outstanding reliability and durability. The skip's shape ensures maximum frontal visibility and it can optionally be fitted with the "Full Visibility System", consisting of cameras and proximity sensors.

The DR601AHG reversible dumper has a 6,000 kg (13,200 lb) payload and comfortable hydrostatic transmission. Thanks to the innovative reversible design, the seat can rotate 180 degrees and all components are instantly adjusted to suit the driver's new position: steering wheel, joystick, pedals, safety cameras, etc. The driver can also comfortably and safely get on and off both sides of the dumper, so speed and flexibility are significantly increased. In terms of technology, various systems have been included to make it a more efficient dumper: it has the ECO Mode function, where the engine speed is automatically controlled to ensure lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. It is fitted with the Hill Holder system, a start-assist and safety system that engages the dumper's brake when a driver takes his foot off the accelerator at zero speed. This significantly increases safety, especially when operating on slopes. It can also be equipped with Smart Stop: a plug-in system that automatically shuts down the engine when it is not in use and the optimal time and safety requirements are met.

Powered by a 3.6L Deutz turbo diesel engine fitted with a DPF to comply with EU stage V emission regulations. With 55.4kW, 405Nm of torque and no AdBlue, these machines are configured for maximum site productivity as follows:

• Front Tip;
• Fully Cabbed Level 2 FOPS;
• Hydrostatic Transmission.

Additional equipment fitted to the 2025 model includes a Spring Activated Hydraulic Release (SAHR) Handbrake, a new dashboard with 7” screen displaying 150° around machine visibility, hi-vis steps, LED road lights and twin LED beacons.
