ABSTRACT:
A side ejection mechanism which may be integrated either onto a trailer or into a unit truck employs a laterally translatable ejection ram to push a payload of material off the side of a load bed. The ejection ram is actuated at its midpoint with a ridged rail and mating spaced roller pair at each end of the ejection ram preventing cocking and tilting as the ram traverses the load bed. A drop gate may be provided opposite the load bed to serve as a wall when up and a lateral deflector when down. The mechanism is designed to permit the rear face of the ejection ram to clear the load bed of any overflow material as the ram is retracted.
