ABSTRACT:
A device for carrying and unloading a load of material from a bed on a truck. The device includes a main panel with an upper surface, a forward edge and a lower surface with skid pads or casters for sliding over the surface of the bed of the truck. The device also includes a front panel with an upper surface, a rearward edge, and a lower surface which also includes skid pads or casters for sliding over the surface of the bed of the truck. A front hinge connects the forward edge of the main panel to the rearward edge of the front panel and allows front panel to swing in a direction facing the lower surface of the front panel, so that the load of material together with device can be slid over and out of the bed of a truck when unloading, and so that the front panel swings under the main panel as the load, together with the device, slides out of the bed of the truck, which in turn causes the separation of the load of material from the device when the load is unloaded from the bed of the truck.
