Abstract: A side dump body including a plurality of side dump body units pivotally mounted on a truck or trailer frame. Each of the side dump body units may be individually pivotally moved from a transport position to a dumping position wherein the contents of the dump body units may be dumped from the side of a truck or trailer. A material compactor is provided at the upper end of each of the body units for compacting material within the body unit. The material compactor may be moved from its operative compaction position wherein it overlies the upper end of the body unit to an inoperative position at one side of the body unit so that the body unit may be moved to its dumping position without interference from the material compactor.

Abstract: A side dump trailer comprising a trailer body pivotally mounted on a wheeled frame to enable the material within the trailer body to be dumped from one side of the trailer. The body is pivotally moved with respect to the wheeled frame by means of a plurality of horizontally spaced-apart scissor lift assemblies positioned beneath the body of the trailer.

Abstract: Structure for controlling the stroke of a hydraulic cylinder, especially where the hydraulic cylinder is utilized on farm implements where field operation height control is necessary. The farm implement includes a frame having at least a wheel support pivotally secured thereto which supports a ground-engaging wheel thereon. A hydraulic cylinder is operatively connected to the frame and to the wheel support whereby extension of the hydraulic cylinder causes the frame to be raised relative to the ground and whereby retraction of the hydraulic cylinder causes the frame to be lowered with respect to the ground. An adjustable valve support is positioned in the pivotal path of the hydraulic cylinder and supports a valve thereon having a plunger extending therefrom which controls the operation of the valve. An actuator is movably positioned on the hydraulic cylinder and is adapted to engage the plunger of the valve to close the normally open valve upon predetermined movement of the hydraulic cylinder.
