Abstract: A side dump body including a plurality of side dump bodies pivotally mounted on a truck or trailer frame. Each of the side dump bodies may be individually pivotally moved from a transport position to a dumping position through the use of a single hydraulic cylinder whereby the contents of the dump body units may be dumped from the side of the truck or trailer. The design of the dump body is such that it has increased carrying capacity and is lightweight and less expensive to manufacture. Further, the end walls, side walls and bottom of each of the side dump bodies are secured together by an adhesive or glue rather than welding.

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: 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 whereby the contents of the dump body units may be dumped from the side of the truck or trailer.

Abstract: A side dump body for use on a truck or trailer is described wherein the side dump body may be pivoted to either side of the truck or trailer to dump the contents thereof. The side dump trailer is operatively connected to a pair of pivotal body mounts which may be utilized to remove the body from the truck or trailer and place the same on the ground adjacent either side of the truck or trailer.

Abstract: A side dump body having an increased carrying capacity when compared to conventional side dump bodies with the side dump body being pivotally movable between transport, loading and dumping positions. The side dump body has an open upper end which is directed upwardly when the side dump body is in its transport position. When the side dump body is in its loading position, the open upper end of the side dump body is directed upwardly and laterally towards one side of the wheeled frame upon which the side dump body is pivotally mounted. When the side dump body is in its dumping position, the open upper end of the side dump body is directed laterally and downwardly from the side of the wheeled frame.

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 of the trailer is constructed to permit it to transport loose bulk materials or to support elongated rod members or spool members therein.

Abstract: A side dump trailer comprising a trailer body pivotally mounted on a wheeled frame fashioned so as to enable the material within the trailer body to be dumped from either side of the trailer. A pair of spaced-apart saddles are provided at each side of the trailer frame and have rocker pins removably and pivotally received therein. When it is desired to dump the material from the trailer from one side thereof, locks on the rocker pins at the opposite side of the trailer are released and hydraulic cylinders are extended to cause the trailer body to pivot about the rocker pins at the dumping side of the trailer. The body of the trailer is also designed to provide strength and to ensure complete dumping of the contents therein.

Abstract: An improved suspension system for a vehicle is provided which interconnects the leaf spring assemby positioned adjacent each of the frame members of a vehicle. The suspension system comprises first and second supports which are positioned below the rearward ends of the leaf spring assemblies and which have their forward ends pivotally secured to the axle housing of the vehicle. The first and second supports are connected, forwardly of the rearward end thereof, to the associated leaf spring. A third support is connected to the rearward ends of the first and second supports and extends therebetween beneath the frame members of the vechicle. A pair of air springs are mounted on the third support between the frame members of the vehicle and have their upper ends operatively secured to the frame members of the vehicle.

Abstract: A suspension system is described which interconnects each of the longitudinally extending frame members of a truck or the like to a transversely extending axle housing positioned therebelow. Each of the suspension systems comprises a leaf spring assembly connected to the associated frame member forwardly of the axle housing.
