Guede GRD 500/R Tracked Dumper

Guede GRD 500/R Tracked Dumper

The Guede GRD 500/R Tracked Dumper is a tipping mini-dumper for transporting materials over difficult terrain. With a 500 kg payload, a 230 l hydraulic tipping skip, and tracked propulsion, the GRD 500/R handles rough terrain, mud, gravel, and slopes that would defeat a conventional cart. Perfect for professional gardeners, maintenance companies, and small construction sites, the tracked dumper allows for efficient transport of soil, sand, compost, and construction waste. The Euro V 4-stroke, 4.1 kW engine (196 cm³, 5.6 HP) is eco-friendly, the 3 forward + 1 reverse gear transmission ensures maneuverability in confined spaces, and the hydraulic tipping skip eliminates strenuous manual unloading. Solid steel structure, maintenance-free gear drive, intuitive handlebar control: a versatile, robust, and quiet dumper (101 dB(A)).

PROFESSIONAL APPLICATIONS

1. Professional Landscape Gardening (500 kg chips/compost)

• Use: Transport of compost, bark, topsoil, decorative sand, garden gravel
• Advantage: Tracks do not damage lawns; low noise (101 dB) near residential areas
• Terrain: Wet lawn, gentle slopes 15–20°, muddy areas
• Speed: 3.47 km/h on flat, approx. 1.5 km/h uphill with full load

2. Small Construction Sites (Excavation, Backfill, Earthwork)

• Use: Earthmoving, rubble, cement sand, gravel for foundations
• Payload: 500 kg per pass (approx. 8–12 m³ per day with 2 people)
• Skip: 230 l hydraulic tipping – no strenuous manual unloading
• Gearbox: 3 forward gears allow precise movement in confined spaces

3. Maintenance of Rural & Municipal Roads

• Use: Asphalt tracing, foundation preparation, drainage, gravel recovery
• Off-road capability: Climbing slopes 25–30° on mixed terrain
• Tracks: Zero detrimental compaction (important for road marking)
• Runtime: 3.5 l petrol = 4–6 h of continuous operation

4. Site Logistics & Light Internal Transport

• Use: Material supply between construction zones, moving equipment < 500 kg
• Lightweight: 261.5 kg net, loadable onto standard car trailer (1,600 kg max)
• Quietness: 101 dB(A) allows early morning or evening work without violating ordinances
• Maneuverability: 720 mm width accesses building corridors, standard doors

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Can the tracked dumper move on asphalt or concrete? Does it cause damage?
Yes, it can, without damage. The rubber tracks are specifically designed for hard surfaces. On asphalt: excellent grip, no slipping with load (unlike pneumatic wheels). Normal wear on concrete floors (~400 h before replacement). Not recommended for: fragile historic surfaces (mosaics, ancient).

Can I transport people (passengers) with the GRD 500/R?
No, it is not approved for that. The 500 kg payload is for goods transport exclusively. Optional accessory 55572 "Operator platform" adds an elevated surface for visibility but does not authorize regular passenger transport. For regulations: check local DVSI.

What is its runtime with a 3.5 l tank?
It depends on the load and terrain. With a full load of 500 kg on flat ground: ~4–5 h. With a light load uphill: ~3–4 h. On muddy terrain with decelerations: ~2–3 h. Estimate: ~1 l every 1.5–2 h of continuous operation.

Does the hydraulic tipping system require maintenance?
Minimal. Check hydraulic oil level every 50 h (there are load cycles). Replace fluid every 2 years or 200 hours. No leaks if properly maintained. Gas-assisted dumpers are robust compared to pure hydraulic systems.

How does the 3-speed gearbox work? Do I need to synchronize?
No, it is a manual non-synchronized gearbox (old truck style). Procedure: 1) stop engine, 2) shift lever into gear position, 3) release brake, 4) slowly accelerate. No double-clutching, no clutch: it's mechanical, reliable, maintenance-free for years.

Up to what gradient can it climb with a full load?
With a full load of 500 kg: slopes up to ~20° without traction loss. With half load 250 kg: reaches 28–30°. On wet mud: max slope 15–18% (tracks slip if too steep). Always test on your specific terrain before purchase.

Noise 101 dB(A): can I use it during limited evening/daytime hours?
Yes, it is one of the least noisy dumpers (for comparison: vibrating plate 108 dB, motorized cart 90 dB). However, check local ordinances: usually allowed 08:00–17:00 Mon–Fri. Evening/night: not recommended without neighborhood consent. Provide 90 dB SNR headphones to operators.

Fuel: can I use petrol stored for months?
No. Petrol ages in 3–6 months (gummy, ignition depression). Empty the tank at the end of the season OR use fuel stabilizer. For winter storage: empty tank + oil in the cylinder (anti-rust).

Do I need to register the tracked dumper anywhere?
No. It is not registered (no license plate, no car insurance). Documentation: manual + CE declaration provided. For public construction sites: request DURC + CCIAA registration (concerns the company, not the dumper). Keep Krollit invoice for warranty.

Warranty: what does it cover and for how long?
Standard Guede warranty: 24 months from date of purchase (manufacturing defects). Exclusions: lack of oil maintenance, fuel stored > 6 months, overload > 500 kg, impact damage, failure to empty skip in winter. Contact Krollit within 30 days of purchase for claims.
