Dumper
The Dumper is an off-road dump truck in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description
The Dumper is by far the largest land-based vehicle in GTA San Andreas, generally based on large off-road dump trucks used in large-scale earth moving; the truck resembles a cross between a 1970s Caterpillar 773 (particularly the grille and cab) and more modern 773s. As with all other heavy machinery, it is part of the DUDE company. The Dumper is also only available in one color: Bluish gray, similar to the Dozer.
The Dumper is a slow moving vehicle (with a top speed roughly similar to that of a Linerunner), but has the effects of the Rhino tank. The "tipper" on the back can be raised up and down, and due to the size of the wheels, it can replace even a Monster Truck.
Use
The dumper is used to carry the dead bodies of several murdered Police officers in the quarry missions. Despite it's presumed uselessness outside of them, the Dumper can actually be used to carry vehicles around in its tipper. If the player lowers the tipper down on a raised surface such as a hill, it will clip through it and therefore allow a vehicle to be driven off the surface and onto the tipper. Once the tipper is raised back up, the vehicle will stay in place until it is raised down. This can be extremely useful for getting a vehicle from one spot to another without the risk of damaging it along the way. This video gives a demonstration on how its done.
Trivia
Locations
Along with the Dozer, the Dumper is integral to quarry side-missions in Hunter Quarry, Bone County, and is also made available during "Explosive Situation". Upon completion of all quarry side-missions, a Dumper will spawn outside the quarry grounds.
