Thwaites beefs up nine-tonne dumper

The new dumper is fitted with a Perkins 83kW turbo after-cooled engine and develops 111hp, compared with the standard 94hp version.

The high-power version, available from January, has been developed in response to customer demand, Thwaites said.

The operator’s platform has also been raised to improve visibility for the driver.
