Abstract

Abstract An elongated dump body for a vehicle which has an auxiliary inner movable body mounted within the elongated dump body. A hydraulic cylinder-plunger means interconnects with the forward portion of the elongated dump body and the auxiliary inner movable body, so as to move a portion of the load rearwardly while the elongated dump body of the vehicle is in a horizontal position. An elevating jack is attached near the forward end of the elongated dump body to elevate the elongated vehicle dump body and the auxiliary movable inner body subsequent to the movement of the auxiliary inner movable body to move a portion of the material therein out at the rear end of the elongated vehicle dump body prior to the elevation of both bodies by the hydraulic jack to an angle to discharge the remaining portion of the material in the body by gravity. Provision is made for scraping a portion of both the sides and floor of the elongated vehicle dump body as the material is moved rearwardly by the auxiliary inner movable body.
