What Is a Forward Tipping Dumper?

A Forward Tipping Dumper (also known as a site dumper or front-tip dumper) is commonly used on construction and civil engineering projects for transporting and tipping materials such as soil, gravel, and aggregates.

Due to the nature of the work and the risks involved, operators must be trained and certified to ensure safe handling and control of these vehicles – especially in busy site environments.

NPORS vs AITT – What’s the Difference?

At DAW Training, we offer certification from both NPORS (National Plant Operators Registration Scheme) and AITT (Association of Industrial Truck Trainers), two of the UK’s most trusted training bodies.
