  • Patent number: 9266457
    Abstract: Disclosed is a body structure for a dump truck (1) having a body frame (3). The body structure is provided with hinge pins (5) to be located toward a rear of the body frame, a body (2A) to be tiltably disposed on the body frame via the hinge pins and to be adapted to load payload (9), and stiffening members arranged on outer surfaces of the body. The body is constructed at least of a floor board (62a), a front board (62b), side boards (62c), and a canopy (62d). The stiffening members include side-board stiffeners (61) connecting upper portions of elongated joints between the side boards and the front board to portions of elongated joints between the side boards and the floor board. The latter portions are located rearward of positions laterally corresponding to a barycentric position (G) of the payload (9) in a longitudinal direction of the body.

  • Patent number: 8882179
    Abstract: A body for a dump truck includes a body frame, a bottom wall, front wall and left and right side walls arranged on the body frame. The bottom wall, front wall and left and right side walls define a payload section for loading a payload, an earth/sand anti-sticking device is arranged in a corner part of the payload section to prevent earth or sand from sticking in the corner part. A steel member is arranged outside and opposite to the earth/sand anti-sticking device such that a space is formed between the steel member and the earth/sand anti-sticking device. The body includes at least one steel rib having a ridge extending out from a surface of a plate that forms the earth/sand anti-sticking device, the ridge is fixedly secured by welding to the plate that forms the earth/sand anti-sticking device.

  • Patent number: 8690193
    Abstract: Rear wheel tires of a vehicle body are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction. A foreign object removing device is provided between an outer tire and an inner tire of the rear wheels on one side of the vehicle for removing foreign objects between the tires. The foreign object removing device includes a bar-shaped member inserted in a suspended state between the tires, and a shoe provided in a lower end side of the bar-shaped member to collide with foreign objects such as earth and sand, and stones getting in between the tires for flicking out the foreign objects from between the tires. The shoe is replaceably attached to the lower end side of the bar-shaped member by using a bolt. In a case where the shoe wears down, only the shoe is replaced.

  • Publication number: 20130106137
    Abstract: [Problem] To realize a body having a light weight and sufficient rigidity, and therefore, to ease restriction on the authorized payload for a payload section such the authorized payload can be increased and the efficiency of hauling work by a dump truck can be improved. [Solution] A body 5 is provided with sloping plates 14-16 arranged in corner parts of a payload section defined by a bottom wall 7, a front wall 8, and left and right side walls 9; and is also provided with steel ribs 17a-17c arranged in hollow parts 25a-25c between these sloping plates 14-16 and the associated ones of the bottom wall 7, front wall 8 and left and right side walls 9 arranged outside and opposite the sloping plates 17a-17c, fixedly secured to the associated walls by welding to reinforce them, and having ridges 17a1-17c1 extending out from surfaces of the sloping plates 14-16. These ridges 17a1-17c1 are fixedly secured to the associated walls by welding.
