Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dump body for a machine. The dump body comprises a floor, a front wall, a pair of side walls being structured and arranged to form a material collection structure. A contoured surface being formed between at least one combination of the floor, front wall, and the pair of side walls. Further, an exhaust passage having at least a portion of wall being defined by the contoured surface is provided in the dump body, wherein the contoured surface is configured to be in fluid communication with exhaust through the exhaust passage.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dump body having a box portion and a skeletal structure. The dump body includes a body support assembly for pivotally attaching the dump body to the frame of the truck. The body support assembly includes a base member and a first and second body support member attached to the base member. The first and second body support members each include a bore adapted receive a steel pin. The body support assembly of the present invention provides a dump body that can be manufactured without the need to line bore the pin bores after welding of the dump body has been completed.

Abstract: A wide body for an off the highway truck having cab, a canopy extending from the wide body and over the cab, a side rear view mirror disposed on each side of the truck viewable from the cab and movable between a position within the width of the wide body and a position outside the width of the wide body and a mirror guard disposed on each side of the truck having a stationary portion disposed within the width of the wide body and a movable portion pivoting between a position within the width of the wide body and a position beyond the width of the wide body to prevent material spilling over the side of the wide body during filling operation breaking the mirror and to allow the wide body to pass through a repair shop door when the side rearview mirror and mirror guard are positioned within the width of the wide body.

Abstract: A liner for a high-wear portion of a work machine body, such as a dump truck body, is formed by separating a unitary plate of wear material, such as steel, into separate plate sections. The plate sections are formed such that confronting plate sections have portions that interfit with each other. Gaps or voids are left between the interfitting portions to define openings the liner from the top surface to the bottom surface thereof. The openings cause material ejected across the liner to tumble rather than slide, thereby reducing abrasive wear. By separating the plate and forming the liner in this manner, no scrap material is created, which reduces cost compared to known design. In addition, liners having a variety of different dimensions can be created from the same plate sections by varying the relative spacing between adjacent plate sections.

Abstract: A liner for a work machine body, such as the body of an off-highway truck, protects the body from wear. The liner has a plate with openings through the plate arranged in a preselected pattern. The plate is of a size to fit a particular portion of the body and is typically removably fastened to the body. The plate has raised strips of abrasion-resistant cladding, such as chromium carbide, bonded to the top surface thereof. The raised strips cause material to tumble, instead of to slide, when being removed from the truck. The tumbling action reduces wear on the liner.

The tumbling action, and the thickness of the plate, reduces wear on the body during material dumping.
