Dump truck’s lifting mechanism breaks during unloading at construction site in Guangdong, China

On October 18, 2026, in Guangdong, China, security camera video captured an accident involving a dump truck at a construction site. In the video, a dump truck is on uneven ground beside an excavated area as its cargo bed is raised to unload soil. As the bed lifts, the part of the truck responsible for pushing it upward appears to break, causing the raised bed to malfunction. A large cloud of dust rises around the truck, partially obscuring the vehicle and the surrounding work area. Soil is scattered around the rear wheels as the incident unfolds. The footage captures the mechanical failure during the unloading process at the construction site.
