ABSTRACT:
A vehicle adapted to be conveyed along a track has an inclined upper platform for supporting an article thereon. A gate hinged to the lower end of the platform is maintained in an upright position by a rotatable lever thereby preventing the article from sliding off of the vehicle. As the vehicle approaches an unloading chute, the lever is rotated to an inoperative position allowing the gate to open and the article to slide off the vehicle into the chute.
