Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question? We are here to help
What is the cabbed dumper legislation 2025?
From February 1st 2025 new legislation came in that means any dumper built after this date, with an operating mass over 3500kg and under 4500kg has to be provided with an additional safety feature, for example a cab. This is to prevent an operator from being ejected from the dumper in the event of a machine tip or roll-over.
In the Thwaites range, the 9 ton dumper now only comes as a cabbed option.
The 6 ton dumper has two options;
- cabbed
- ROPS+
What size cabbed dumpers do we offer?
There are 3 options for Thwaites cabbed dumpers:
1. 6 tonne front tip
2. 6 tonne swivel
3. 9 tonne front tip
What’s the difference between a front-tip and swivel-tip dumper?
Front-tip dumpers unload in a straight line, ideal for simple load-and-dump tasks. Swivel-tip dumpers can tip at an angle, offering more control on confined or uneven sites. Swivel dumpers are used on road sides especially and all come with road light kits as standard.
