ABSTRACT:
A side dumping container vehicle comprising a chassis having front, rear and side portions. A pair of side dumping arms are connected near one side portion of the chassis at the front and rear portions of the chassis. These side dumping arms are reinforced at the side of the chassis by interconnecting reinforcing members. The side dumping arms are further reinforced at the front and rear of the chassis by front and rear reinforcing members interconnecting the dumping arms to the base of the chassis. A container for carrying various articles is supported on the chassis. The container comprises a base, a side dumping siding forming one side of the container, front and rear sidings, and a lifting siding forming a side of the container opposite the side dumping siding. Hinges are provided to pivotally connect the side dumping siding of the container to the pair of side dumping arms so that the container can be pivoted over the side dumping arms to dump the contents of the container. Mounted on the lifting siding of the container are supporting means which are adapted to support a lifting bar. The lifting bar is connected by means of chains to the base of the container on the side closest to the side dumping arms. The movement of the lifting bar away from the supporting means by means of a crane or other suitable lifting apparatus, pivots the container about the pivot means to effectuate the dumping operation. Limiting means are provided for limiting the movement of the container during dumping. This limiting means can comprise a chain which is connected from the container to the chassis of the vehicle.
