A dumper vehicle includes a frame 12 comprising front 14 and rear 16 ends and an operator seat mounted to the frame. An open topped container 24 (e.g. skip) for carrying a load therein is mounted to the frame between front and rear wheels. The container is moveable between a transport position for transporting a load and a discharge position for discharging of a load. The container defines an upper extent thereof, the upper extent decreases in height with respect to a lower extent of the wheels towards the front end 14 of the frame, when the container is in the transport position. Decreasing the upper extent in height toward the front of the vehicle advantageously increases visibility over the container of an operator in the seat. The frame 16 may comprise a main chassis 36 having the operator seat mounted thereto and an articulating front chassis 38 having the container 24 mounted thereto. The lower extend of the front chassis 42 may be lower than a lower extent 44 of the main chassis, thus lowering the skip 24 to increase line of sight angle over it, and also lowering the centre of gravity to improve stability of the vehicle.
