ABSTRACT:
A chassis supports a main frame with one open side, and a dump box with an open upper side is situated within the main frame and pivoted to the other side of the main frame. An hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly can move the box from the vertical or normal position to a tilted or unloading position. The dump box is pivoted to the upper side of the main frame at a line spaced from the top side edge of the dump box so that the top side edge extends beyond the side of the wagon when tipped or tilted. A conveyor is situated on the side of the dump box which is pivoted to the main frame and driven by an hydraulic motor. Material is loaded in the open upper side of the dump box and when it is to be unloaded, the dump box is tilted whereupon the conveyor unloads the material from the open upper side of the dump box. This construction overcomes disadvantages of conventional dump boxes in which the center of gravity is shifted considerably when dumping by gravity, particularly when the load is such that it resists sliding movement during dumping. Furthermore, conventional dump boxes are usually pivoted adjacent the top edge thereof which dumps the load close to the side of the receptacle into which it is being dumped rather than towards the center as with the present device due to the fact that the upper edge of the box is spaced away from the chassis.
