Think of it as an overgrown, powered, ride-on wheelbarrow rather than as a small dump truck. I would guess by the style of this one that it is sourced from UK production rather than North American, but could easily be wrong. This type of equipment still exists, in my experience used almost exclusively on a job site rather than for hoad haulage (even very short distance).
I've seen the modern equivalent of this piece of equipment on construction sites I've been on. Last one was Terminal "D" at DFW airport in 2004, 'though it was much smaller. The one in the pic looks to be fairly robust with a capacity of perhaps a yard or two of earth. The larger tyres look like something you'd put on a farm tractor. Hopefully someone will come up with a name or designation for it. Derek.
