Dumper hire

Dumper hire for easily moving materials around on-site

Moving soil, rubble and aggregate manually can quickly turn a productive day into a very long one. Dumper hire gives you a faster way to transport materials around construction sites, gardens, farms and other work areas.

At National Tool Hire, we work specialist plant hire suppliers so that you can hire forward tip, swivel, high-tip and muck dumpers for projects across the UK. Delivered to your site ready to use and collected when you’re done. 

Dumpers are particularly useful when paired with excavators. The digger does the digging while the dumper transports the spoil, allowing both machines to work together efficiently.

What can I move with a dumper? 

Dumpers can transport a wide variety of materials, including:

• Excavated soil
• Hardcore  
• Sand and gravel
• Aggregates  
• Rubble  
• Construction waste
• Topsoil  
• Compost  
• Landscaping materials
• Demolition waste 

They're useful for both construction and landscaping, from clearing a domestic garden to moving large volumes of material around a commercial site.

Hiring the right dumper for the job

There are different types of dumper available to hire that all have their own functions. 

Forward tip dumpers discharge their loads over the front and are a common choice for moving and depositing materials on construction sites.

High-tip dumpers can discharge material into skips, containers and other elevated locations, making them particularly useful where you need to load waste into something higher than the dumper itself.

Swivel dumpers allow the skip to rotate, giving you greater flexibility when placing material without constantly repositioning the machine.

Muck dumpers are ideal for smaller sites and restricted access as they provide a compact way to move materials  

Dumper hire for construction and landscaping projects

Dumper hire can make a noticeable difference to projects involving large quantities of material. A must-have for many projects, dumpers are robust, versatile pieces of equipment. They can be used for easily transporting materials, shifting loads and making light work of clearing sites. Common uses include:

• Foundation excavation
• House extensions
• Driveway construction
• Garden landscaping
• Site clearance
• Demolition 
• Drainage installation
• Road construction
• Groundworks  
• Commercial construction 

When to hire a dumper

Dumpers are important kit to have for any project that involves digging or moving heavy materials. During digging and excavating they can be loaded with waste and taken directly to a skip. During the building stage of a project, you can also use them to transport heavy building materials like sand, rubble, and aggregate, and dump them into place, whether that is on the ground, directly into trenches, into another vehicle or – for waste - straight into a skip.
