Abstract: A transporter or vehicle for articles having a container for receiving articles to be transported. A frame assembly supports the container on a chassis. Guides extend vertically upwardly from the chassis for guiding vertical translation of the frame, and the frame is pivotally connected to an upper portion of the container so that the container is rotatable about one of its side edges. Piston-cylinder units are interconnected between fore and aft portions of the chassis and the container in such manner that initial movement of the pistons out of the cylinders vertically translates the interconnected frame and container. After the frame and container have reached a predetermined height, continued movement of the pistons out of the cylinders results in pivoting of the container with respect to the frame to thereby dump the contents of the container.

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.
