A vehicle unloading system provides hauling and unloading capabilities for a load of a vehicle. The system includes a container section having two sidewalls joining separate sides of a front wall. A chassis is configured to support the container section and includes a central support beam extending from the front end to a rear end of the container section and defines a central axis. Crossmembers extend across the width of the chassis and perpendicular to the central support beam. A tension directing mechanism positioned along the rear end of the container section is in tensioned relation with a first tensioning device affixed to the front wall as well as a push plate positioned adjacent the front wall. The tensioned relation between the tension directing mechanism and the first tensioning device and the push plate is defined by a central cable and a pair of outer cables, respectively.

An apparatus for dispersing liquid flame retardant mixtures mounts in the bucket of mine scoop. The apparatus has a housing which is generally sized to fit within a mine scoop bucket while leaving space in the bucket for moving mine material. The housing has a reservoir within it for holding a fire prevention mixture. The mixture is a liquid mixture and the apparatus has a motor, pump, tubes, and nozzles for dispersing the fire prevention mixture. The apparatus accommodates a hydraulic cylinder for moving the mixture dispersing apparatus back and forth within the scoop bucket. The hydraulic cylinder is operated to position the nozzles for dispersing the liquid. Some embodiments of the apparatus have a front face with scraper blade elements that operate as a scraper blade similar to scraper blades in scoop buckets that do not have the apparatus in place.

A trailer for transporting bulk material has a container mounted on a chassis and wheeled suspension. The container has opposing sidewalls, a floor, a front wall, and a rear opening. The trailer further has an unloading system comprising a plow and a plow motor system. The plow is disposed in the container and shaped and sized to span substantially a transverse cross-section of the container. The plow motor system is operable to move the plow longitudinally in the container to urge or push the bulk material in the container toward and out of the rear opening of the container. At least one of the sidewalls comprises a removable panel installed longitudinally along a bottom of the sidewall, wherein an inward-facing surface of the removable panel and an inward-facing surface of the sidewall are substantially co-planar.

The present implementation relates to an adjustable, removable, moving chain link fence or wall. The moving chain link fence or wall is part of a kit which may be installed to an existing truck or trailer having a flat bed, side walls and potentially a tail gate. The implementation may include a winch, a wheel assembly, and an adjustable, moving chain link fence or wall which can fit all trucks and trailers. In use, the implementation may be placed in the front of a truck or trailer and the bed is loaded with debris, or material. The winch may be activated in the out position. The device then travels along the top of the floor and pushes the debris or material out of the truck or trailer back end. Rubber wheels may be installed on the bottom of the implementation to ensure a smooth movement while in use.

An autonomous delivery system includes an autonomous delivery vehicle and a dedicated delivery receptacle at a delivery location. The autonomous delivery vehicle autonomously delivers a delivery item to the delivery location and autonomously transfers the delivery item to the delivery receptacle.

A utility trailer with a movable bed floor includes a trailer frame supported by a plurality of wheel assemblies. A bed panel is coupled with the trailer frame and defines an upper support surface. A live-bed flexible member spans the length and width of the upper support surface. A load chain is coupled between forward and rearward ends of the live-bed flexible member and span the length of the bed panel below the bed panel. A drive system is supported by the trailer frame. The drive system has a sprocket engaged with the load chain and is operable to drive the live-bed flexible member in forward and rearward directions over the upper support surface for loading and unloading items from the utility trailer.

The present disclosure provides a body for a machine. The body comprises a front wall at a front end of the body. First and second side walls extend from the front wall to a rear end of the body. The first and second side walls each comprising a top side rail. A base extends from the front wall to the rear end and between the first and second side walls. Thus the front wall, first and second side walls and base at least partially form a body cavity for receiving material. Each top side rail comprises an upper side surface and a flange extending upwardly from the upper side surface adjacent to the body cavity. The upper side surface extends downwardly and outwardly away from the flange for directing material from the top side rail and away from the body cavity.

An apparatus for dispersing liquid flame retardant mixtures mounts in the bucket of mine scoop. The apparatus has a housing which is generally sized to fit within a mine scoop bucket while leaving space in the bucket for moving mine material. The housing has a reservoir within it for holding a fire prevention mixture. The mixture is a liquid mixture and the apparatus has a motor, pump, tubes, and nozzles for dispersing the fire prevention mixture.

Some embodiments of the apparatus have a front face with scraper blade elements that operate as a scraper blade similar to scraper blades in scoop buckets that do not have the apparatus in place.

A sliding platform loading device intended to equip the rear area of a vehicle that has protruding wheel passages includes: a fixed chassis, intended to be anchored onto the rear loading area of the vehicle; the sliding platform; and a guiding system between the sliding platform and the fixed chassis. The sliding platform is able to pass from a retracted position on the fixed chassis, to an unfolded position on the cantilever of the fixed chassis. The device includes auxiliary platforms, fixed, held by the fixed chassis, on the same level as the flat area of the sliding platform, the auxiliary platforms defining two lateral indentations, intended to be of an additional form to the wheel passages, and in that in the retracted position from the sliding platform, the auxiliary platforms laterally extend the flat area of the sliding platform.

A system and method are provided for automated cleaning of a loading container of a transport vehicle (e.g., dump truck, ejector, scraper), wherein the loading container includes controllable elements (e.g., hydraulic lift cylinders for a truck bin, an ejector blade) for transitioning between loaded and unloaded states. Characteristics of carryback material remaining in the loading container are estimated during a detected unloaded state of the transport vehicle, wherein whether to initiate an automated cleaning stage is determined based on at least one of the estimated characteristics. Upon determining to initiate the automated cleaning stage, performance of a cleaning routine is automatically directed during or in association with an unloading stage for the loading container via the controllable elements. The elements are controlled during the cleaning routine in accordance with a severity level selected from among various progressively increasing severity levels based on at least one of the estimated characteristics.
