ABSTRACT:
A dual discharge hopper device for the cargo body of a bulk cargo carrying wheeled vehicle has at least one transverse side wall which is pivoted and releasably latched for free discharge of material from the cargo body, and also has a bottom closure which provides for controlled discharge of material. A diverter panel is mounted on a shaft at the bottom of the device alongside the pivoted side wall, and is movable between a controlled discharge position in which it confronts the pivoted sidewall, and a free discharge position in which it lies diagonally across the device to block the controlled discharge closure. Two opposite sidewalls may be pivoted, in which case there are two diverter panels the upper ends of which effectively meet to block the controlled discharge closure.
