ABSTRACT:
A gravity unloading method for cargo box having split bottom plates. A pair of rectangular split bottom plates abut at one of the long sides of the bottom plates and pivoted near the other of the long sides thereof on the bottom of the cargo box. Force is applied by power devices beneath the bottom plate, causing the split bottom plates to turn pivotally and become inclined. A side plate is disposed vertically at the edge of each of the long sides of the bottom plate. The ends of the side plates adjacent the bottom plate can be pivotally turned open through the free ends turning up by a linkage such that the articles located on the split bottom plates can completely slide out by their own weight from both sides.
