US Patent 7172378 Adjustable stops for rolloff truck

A system for optimizing the load position for a container loaded onto a rolloff truck which has two side rails is effected by means of a number of pockets on each side rail. Removable stop assemblies are inserted into a corresponding pocket on each side rail. The container is then pulled up by means of a cable winch, until the container fits against the stops located on each rail. Sufficient tension is maintained on the cable so that the container cannot slide or otherwise move off the selected position, in which the load is equally distributed between the front and rear wheels.
