Abstract: Safety latch includes an active member having a support; a thrust pin actuator with a movable thrust pin actuator element movable to and fro along an axis; a thrust pin having a proximate end attachable to the movable thrust pin actuator element such that the thrust pin can be moved to and fro along the axis with movement of the movable thrust pin actuator element, and a distal end; and a biasing element to bias the thrust pin in an extended position. Passive member includes a catch with a thrust pin receiving hole. When assembled, and the movable thrust pin actuator element is slid to and fro, at least the distal end of the thrust pin can penetrate into or be withdrawn from the thrust pin receiving hole to close or open the safety latch. It can be attached to a dump body, say, as part of a dump vehicle.
