Why anybody would want to buy used dump truck parts and sacrifice the quality of their running vehicle. Well, the answer is quite simple.

Used parts are a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new products from dump truck parts manufacturers. Even the best trucking companies available will sometimes utilize used parts to help reduce maintenance costs. A smaller for-hire carrier or owner operator should definitely consider used parts to maintain their vehicles. Used parts are not necessarily low quality. In fact, many used parts dealers offer warranties on their products. The quality of a used part depends on the dealer – on the process they use to accept used parts as serviceable and the quality of refurbishment or re-manufacturing work.

Used parts dealers carry all types of parts for vehicles ranging from standard to heavy duty trucks and for all types of trailers including drop deck trailers and end deck trailers. However, you may have to search around to get the part that you need. Whether you are a dedicated route driver or a for-hire carrier, you should consider used parts as a means of reducing maintenance costs. The Internet is a great place to look for used dump truck parts. Just type in the type of part you are looking for at the major search engine websites like Google, Yahoo and Bing. Most major dealers today offer parts online. Here is a review of used dump truck parts offered by dealers.

Dump Truck Diesel Engine

Diesel engines are popular because of their reliability and long life span. Off-road dump trucks are generally referred to as haul trucks and most use diesel-electric engines. The diesel motor drives a DC generator or AC alternator that, in turn, powers the wheel motors.

Dump Truck Rear Axle

The dump truck rear axle may be powered or un-powered. The powered rear axle can be adjusted depending on whether the truck is loaded or unloaded. Dump trucks often have more than one rear axle, i.e., a ten-wheel dump truck will typically have two powered rear axles.

Dump Truck Suspension & Shocks

Heavy equipment like dump trucks require special suspension and shocks. Dump truck work can be rough on the suspension system and using new replacement parts can become expensive. The suspension system and shock absorbers are important factors in how the truck rides on the road. Tire pressure is another important consideration so drivers should perform regular tire pressure monitoring for a smooth ride and also for better fuel economy.

Dump Truck Fuel Tank

Fuel tanks are fairly simple parts and used tanks are generally more than satisfactory. Fuel tanks are generally made of aluminum or steel. Many used parts dealers offer warranties on their refurbished parts to ensure customers that they are selling quality products.

Dump Truck Engine Parts

The engine is often the part of the vehicle that requires the most maintenance. With a wide range of moving and non-moving parts, there are many things that can malfunction and require repair or replacement. In many cases, it makes good economical sense to purchase used engine parts rather than brand new ones. Sometimes it can be difficult to find certain types of engine parts, however, the Internet has made the task much easier. Prior to the Internet, drivers often had to call or visit each dealer to find rare parts, but today you can easily browse for parts at numerous websites. Parts can be ordered from any dealer, even from other countries, and shipped to your location.

Dump Truck Body Parts

Dump trucks have a wide range of body parts from the cab to the trailer. A number of body configurations exist that depend on the type of work involved. A transfer dump truck pulls an aggregate-carrying trailer. A bottom dump truck unloads cargo through a dump gate located at the bottom of the trailer. Some bottom dump trucks have double or triple trailers. A side dump truck uses hydraulic equipment to tilt the trailer sideways to dump out the contents. Off-road dump trucks are heavy duty equipment with special frames.

Hydraulic Gear Pump

The gear pump is used to pump fluids and can use either an internal or an external design. The hydraulic fuel pump is a wonderful piece of technology very useful for handling an oversize load, but it requires regular maintenance to keep it in working order. Used parts are very practical for maintaining hydraulic gear pumps.
