Abstract: A body for a recycling truck has a plurality of interior movable partitions dividing the interior of the body into compartments. The partitions are hinged at their top edges to pivot rearward of the body. The partitions are locked using a pneumatically activated lever, and the partitions may be locked and unlocked remotely. A trough is located alongside the body, and the trough has removable buckets or movable interior partitions so that trough divisions correspond to the interior partitions of the body. The roof has a movable panel enabling the trough contents to be dumped within the body, and the trough is operated by a driven chain and sprocket mechanism located at either end of it.

Abstract: The invention relates to improvements in a dual purpose vehicle having a dump body which can be hinged at either the front or rear end thereof so that it may be tipped rearwardly for use as a dump truck or tipped forwardly for use as a spreader. The hinge means have been improved to provide a bearing for receiving the weight of the dump body and the floor of the body is provided with an inlay to allow salt/sand mixtures to flow at a 26.degree. angle of forward tilt.
