ABSTRACT:
A transporter or vehicle for articles having a container for receiving articles to be transported. A frame assembly supports the container on a chassis. Guides extend vertically upwardly from the chassis for guiding vertical translation of the frame, and the frame is pivotally connected to an upper portion of the container so that the container is rotatable about one of its side edges. Piston-cylinder units are interconnected between fore and aft portions of the chassis and the container in such manner that initial movement of the pistons out of the cylinders vertically translates the interconnected frame and container. After the frame and container have reached a predetermined height, continued movement of the pistons out of the cylinders results in pivoting of the container with respect to the frame to thereby dump the contents of the container. The points of connection of the piston-cylinder units to the container and the pivotal interconnection between the container and frame are such that the center of gravity of the container is always located between the outer side edges of the transporter so that there is no need to provide outriggers to prevent overturning of the vehicle during a dumping operation. Also, the same piston-cylinder units are used to both raise the container and to pivot the container with respect to the frame.
