Why do site dumpers have the engine at the rear?

Site dumpers have the engine at the rear for several reasons, primarily to enhance stability and weight distribution. This rear-engine configuration helps to balance the load, particularly when carrying heavy materials, which improves the vehicle's overall handling and reduces the risk of tipping. Additionally, placing the engine at the rear allows for a more compact design, providing better visibility for the operator and facilitating easier access to the engine for maintenance.
