Truck and Dog Tipper Average Payloads & Licensing

The operation of tipper trucks is heavily regulated in Australia by the National Heavy Vehicle Registrar. We recommend you brush up on their requirements before jumping into the cabin of a truck and dog. Most companies won’t hire you a tipper truck or truck and dog on dry hire without citing your heavy vehicle license and ensuring it’s adequate to operate the truck and dog based on its capacity and your intended destination.

This is because the supplier is on the hook for your safety and the safety of the general public, due to the strict Chain of Responsibility Laws. If you don’t know what we’re talking about, then I recommend you read up before hiring a truck and dog!

Type Low Payload High Payload License to Operate
Small Truck & Dog 15 Tonnes 25 Tonnes Heavy Rigid (HR)
Medium Truck & Dog 25 Tonnes 35 Tonnes Heavy Rigid (HR)
Large Truck & Dog 35 Tonnes 50 Tonnes Heavy Combination (HC)

Comparing Truck and Dog Trailers with Other Truck Trailers

Choosing the right trailer for your project depends on factors like load type, terrain, and efficiency. While truck and dog trailers are a go-to for bulk haulage, other options might better suit specific transport needs. Let’s compare the other common truck trailers with truck and dog trailers.

Trailer Type Best For Key Advantages
Truck and Dog Trailer Bulk materials, construction sites High payload capacity, ideal for heavy-duty work
Drop Deck Trailers Oversized loads, tall freight Lower deck height allows better load stability
Flat Top Trailers General freight, palletised goods Easy access from all sides for quick loading
Semi Trailer Long-distance bulk transport High-volume loads with better fuel efficiency
Prime Mover Heavy haulage, long-haul freight Powerful towing capacity for various trailers

A truck and dog trailer is highly versatile for construction sites, offering superior load handling and maneuverability. However, drop deck trailers, flat top trailers, and semi trailers provide additional flexibility for specific transport needs. If you're moving freight over long distances, a Prime Mover may be the best option to tow different trailer types efficiently.
