Max Truck Dumper

Max Truck, the Power Barrow for landscapers, ground workers, builders and tree surgeons.

​The max truck is a 4WD power barrow that is ideal for moving building and landscaping materials over almost any terrain. Only 710mm wide, this compact machine can access the back of houses and go through garden gates to work hand in hand with micro diggers.

This power barrow can be fitted with a full range of accessories, such as the flatbed for moving paving slabs, skip extensions for holding more volume, a ball hitch for towing, and turf tyres to reduce ground pressure and protect prestigious lawns. In recent years, woodland owners and tree surgeons have invested in these powered wheelbarrows to speed up the removal of timber, logs, branches, or brash.
 
​Powered by the Honda 160cc GXV commercial grade 4-stroke engine for excellent performance, this power barrow will travel over obstacles, climb up steps, and 30° inclines, fully loaded. Its 365kg capacity allows the machine to shift five times more materials than a manual wheelbarrow and typically twice as much as a tracked dumper.

Galvanised skip (optional upgrade)

​​​Typical users and how they use the max truck:

• Builders and local authorities: For fast skip filling, transportation of paving slabs, bricks, rubble, and site debris.
• Landscapers and gardeners: For carrying turf, soil, gravel, mulch, etc.

Max Truck FAQ

1) Can I fill up a skip fully using just thIS MACHINE and loading ramp?

​Yes, Once you have filled the end you are loading from, simply drive the unit into the skip with the bucket in the tipped position (90°) and push the dirt or materials across the skip to the other end, then work your way back with each tip to the loading end, this way your wheelbarrow can fill up a skip completely.

​2) What is the parts ordering process?

​Parts are kept in stock, if we process your order by noon you will receive your parts on the following working day.

​3) What makes this power barrow so stable?

​This power barrow is built on 4 wheels. It has a low centre of gravity and the centre point of the machine ensures that it is stable, especially useful when filling it using a mini digger.

4) What is a four wheel drive and why is it so effective?

​The power drive is what enables the machine to travel up inclines up to 30° with a full load. It works by all six wheels being connected to each other under tyre friction, the front wheels are the driving wheels, which in turn create a reverse motion of the smaller centre wheels, which then creates drive into the rear wheels enabling the 4WD system.

​5) How do I know if I have a MK 1, 2, or 3 model Muck Truck?

​Every Muck Truck power barrow has a serial number marked on an ID plate, quote this number, and we can tell you.

​6) How do I steer my Max Truck?

​This unit is perfectly balanced whether loaded or unloaded so you change direction like steering a wheelbarrow with a very slight lifting of the handlebars and then turning accordingly.

​7) Does the Max Truck start easily?

​Most definitely, almost everyone can start this power barrow.

​8) Is this power barrow easy to use?

​It is the easiest-to-use powered barrow in the marketplace today, from starting it to steering it, and is also perfectly balanced, unlike other complicated machines.

​9) Does the customer get after-sales support on this product?

​Yes, the genuine Muck Truck has been in production since the late 80s and has a well established dealer network to support its customers.

10) HoW DO YOU START THE MUCK TRUCK?

You need to set the wheelbarrow on firm level ground and check the fuel and oil levels first. To start the engine you set the choke by pushing the throttle lever fully forward. After two or three pulls the engine will start.

Max Dumper used in a work project

Case Study (Earth Moving Services Ltd)
One Micro excavator and one Max Truck on an outbuilding demolition task:
- Distance from excavation site to tip point approx. 25M through a narrow alleyway.
- Route travelled by the machine followed an ‘S’ shape from back garden into alleyway as designated by the wooden boards used to protect the lawn.
- Total amount of hardcore material shifted in 7 ½ hours was equivalent to more than a six wheel grab lorry load with some material left over after grab lorry had loaded.
Max Truck Tip Cycles:
- Engine left idling whilst being loaded by micro excavator and ran at full throttle when travelling.
- Approx. 45% time in 3rd gear travelling loaded to tip site.
- Approx. 5% time in 1st gear turning out of alley way to tip the load.
- Approx. 50% in reverse gear travelling back to hardcore stockpile to be loaded my micro excavator.
- Fuel consumption during this task: 0.46L/per hour.
- May 2015 - Since this Case Study, Stephen Trott of Earthmoving Services has been so pleased with the Max truck that he has expanded and bought a second machine fitted with Double Wheels.
