Decide whether the job needs a complete dumper or a chassis for a separately engineered installation. Track access, payload placement and discharge method should be considered together. A rotating body changes the working space needed around the carrier.
Questions that shape the equipment choice
Job requirement
What to compare
Evidence to obtain
Payload use
Dump body versus mounted equipment
Identify the complete sold assembly
Discharge
Fixed or rotating body
Check raised and swept boundaries separately
Access
Tracks, overall width and ground conditions
Obtain the site access and ground-support assessment
Choose the machine architecture
Crawler Carriers: subcategories
Fixed-body carriers
Payload body does not rotate independently of the chassis.

Rotating-body carriers
The payload body rotates relative to the tracked chassis.
Compare the same configuration, including attachments, folded parts, counterweights and stabilizers. Transport dimensions can differ substantially from the working setup.
Before comparing used machines
Check track condition, carrier rollers, payload-frame mountings and dump or rotation mechanisms. Deduct mounted equipment from the applicable payload allowance.
