“Rollback Dump Truck” Is Two Trucks In One
“Our patented new rollback dump truck allows you to load equipment, haul it to a job, haul and dump material all day, and then haul it back home without needing a second truck or trailer. With customizable side options, it also works great to load and unload almost any kind of material from the side and also dump it,” says Kevin Rampley, Jackson, Mo.
The Rampco EZ-Load truck is designed as a flatbed with stake pockets on 2-ft. centers. A patented solid lock and a pair of telescoping hydraulic cylinders allow dumping the load without any holdback.
“The lock holds the truck’s subframe down when loading and unloading in the rollback mode. That allows an angle as shallow as 13 degrees for loading equipment onto the flatbed, or as high as 48 degrees for dumping any material,” says Rampley.
“It combines the advantages of a flatbed dump truck and an industrial rollback model, without the cost or hassle of multiple bodies. Until now, if you wanted to load equipment onto a truck and then use the truck to dump, your only options were hook lift systems. You had to deal with switching truck bodies, and couldn’t winch equipment or materials onto the truck.”
The truck also comes with a powerful hydraulic winch for loading and unloading large logs and so forth.
Rampley says the Rampco EZ-Load has gained national interest from landscaping and tree service companies, concrete contractors, and city and county maintenance departments. Farmers will find many uses for it, too, he says.
“It works great to haul everything from big tree trunks to liquid fertilizer containers, skid loaders, and other farm equipment. You can use a skid loader or loader tractor to dump loads over the sides, or quickly remove the sides to allow hauling over-width loads. Some farmers install high plywood sides to haul material such as mulch or grain. Others install fold-down sides for forklift access.”
The Rampco EZ-Load is available in 4 models. The Construction Pro is a 24-ft. tandem axle truck with 52,000 GVW and a 30,000-load capacity, and a 15,000-lb. hydraulic winch. The Landscape Buddy is a 20-ft. single axle model offering 2 load ranges: 33,000 GVW with 17,000-lb. load capacity, and 26,000 GVW with 10,000-lb. load capacity. (No CDL requirement). Both offer a 10,000-lb. winch.
The smallest model available, the Municipal, is a 16-ft. single axle truck with a 21,000 GVW and a 10,000-lb. load capacity. It also comes with a 10,000-lb. winch.
“Most people order a new truck and then have it drop shipped to us for refitting according to their needs,” says Rampley. “The price to custom build a truck ranges from $25,000 to $40,000, depending on options.”
