Equipment Overview
The Thwaites 9T is a site dumper built for construction site material handling, the largest model in Thwaites’ range above the 3T and 6T. It carries a 9-tonne rated payload on a chassis with a 5,620 kg unladen weight and a 2,660 mm wheelbase, suited to large civil earthworks and construction sites needing maximum volume moved per trip across the site.
Power comes from a Perkins diesel engine rated at 110 hp, driving a four-speed powershift transmission to all four wheels. A foldable, certified ROPS frame protects the operator, and standard road lighting, a reverse alarm, and a rotating beacon suit both site and road use. The articulation and oscillation joint keeps all four wheels planted on uneven ground, and the wide, low-centre-of-gravity rear chassis maintains stability when the skip is fully loaded and tipping under load.
