Patent attributes
This invention is a drive-by side transfer system including a dump container and its dump truck. The truck has a bed mounted for rear or side dumping and has one or more parallel roller or slide channel-ways run obliquely across the bed extendable beyond at least one side to engage between facing channels run on the same oblique angle across in the bottom frame of the container to guide on the ways on the truck to be engaged by the truck's movement alongside of the platform to transfer the container between a platform (such as on a dock, storage spot, railway car, or conveyor) and the truck bed. The truck has a self-chocking hydraulic lift with dog or dog and tongue operated to engage the bottom of the dump container to tilt the container on the truck to dump its load. The container has a retractable roof. The truck is driven to transfer the container from or to the truck according to whether an end roller on the platform is hit from the end to push the container out off onto the platform or pass by the roller to keep the container on the truck.
