Sunrise Unlimited is using the truck's swivel dump feature to cover pipe trenches throughout the job. "We can fill the dump with stone, sand or dirt, turn the dump body about 90°, walk it along the trench and cover up our pipe," says Aspinwall. "The 90° dump body and narrow frame make it very versatile."

Its wide tires enable it to operate in challenging conditions, whether the terrain is soft, steep or covered by deep snow. The dump truck is also well-suited for use on golf courses due to its low weight and the geometry of the pivot, which subjects the ground to minimum damage.

Acquiring the new vehicle has allowed Sunrise Unlimited to form two teams. The heavy team consists of heavy equipment such as excavators, dozers and articulated dumps for their large dirt work projects. The light team consists of the 912C, lighter excavators and dozers for their light construction and landscaping needs.

"This dump truck fits perfectly into my line of work," says Aspinwall. "It's easy to operate, comfortable and can handle landscaping and small construction applications."
