Peculiarities of sand transportation

Usually sand is transported without packaging or in bags of large capacity, as it belongs to the category of bulk goods. Priority in cargo turnover is given to the transportation of sand by dump trucks. This method of transportation allows you to deliver the material directly from the place of its extraction (quarry) to the destination, whether it is a construction site or a factory for the production of building structures. Even large manufacturers of construction materials, which have their own infrastructure of railway transportation for sand delivery, prefer to use dump trucks. This is due to the fact that this method of transportation is considered profitable and convenient.
