Abstract
A dump truck, which travels in travel directions and dumps loads in a dumping direction collinear to one of the travel directions, includes: a chassis provided with tires at front and rear parts in the travel direction; an obstacle detector provided at a dump-side end of the chassis, the obstacle detector detecting an obstacle in the dumping direction of the chassis; and a shifter that is capable of moving the obstacle detector to a first position at which the obstacle detector protrudes beyond dump-side ends of the tires and to a second position at which the obstacle detector is located inner than the dump-side ends of the tires.
