ABSTRACT:
A tailgate and dump body assembly for use on dump trucks or trailers utilizes a plurality of U-shaped structural steel elements in a unitized body to prevent lateral deformation and vibration. The dump body terminates in one such element and the tailgate seats against this element when closed. The tailgate is pivotally mounted at the top to a linkage which lowers and raises the tailgate into and out of wedge-like engagement with an inclined stop member affixed to the rear of the dump body. Raising the tailgate permits it to swing open upon elevation of the dump body while lowering the tailgate into engagement with the stop member prevents inadvertent opening of the gate.
