ABSTRACT:
A transportable bin-type container having opposed side and end walls and opposed top and bottom walls, the container including a pair of outwardly extending pivot shafts extending from the opposed end walls to define a pivot axis. The container is adapted to be received on a truck bed, or the like, wherein a pair of spaced bearing support members are provided that extend upwardly from the truck bed in substantially parallel relationship, and that are spaced a distance slightly greater than the spacing between the end walls of the container. The bearing support members include an upper surface and an elongated, upwardly facing opening to receive one of the pivot shafts of the container, the opening including a pair of spaced, substantially parallel walls the outermost of which is longer than the innermost to define a transverse stop means for the pivot shafts when the container is being loaded on the truck bed. The container is dumped while on the truck bed by apparatus separate from the truck and that includes a guide rail that passes over and around the top of the truck bed. The dumping apparatus includes a hook means to engage a hooking bar on the container, the hook means extending from a carriage that is transported along the guide rail to progressively tilt the container about the pivot axis defined by the pivot shafts, and thereby cause the contents of the container to be dumped through an opening in the upper wall and adjacent the side of the truck bed opposite to the side on which the dumping apparatus is positioned.
