A canopy of a dump body for a truck comprises a deck having a length and a width greater in dimension that the length defined by a front edge, a rear edge opposite the front edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge opposite the first side edge. The deck can define an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface. In a front view the deck can define a concave shape, with a center portion and stepped portions between the center portion and the first and second side edges.

A trailer includes a metal frame, a first dump bed coupled to the frame substantially near a forward end of the frame, and a second dump bed coupled to the frame substantially near a rearward end of the frame. In an embodiment, the first dump bed is a side-dumping dump bed and the second dump bed is a rear-dumping dump bed.

A cylinder propping system includes a sleeve and a locking member. The sleeve includes an outer wall that defines an inner cavity and a ledge. The inner cavity is sized to receive at least a portion of a cylinder assembly therein. A first end of the outer wall is configured to hingedly couple to one end of the cylinder assembly. The ledge is spaced apart from the first end. The locking member is sized to engage with the ledge, between the ledge and a cylinder housing of the cylinder assembly, to prevent movement of the cylinder housing in at least one direction along a central axis of the sleeve.

The transport vehicle includes a first assembly that includes a first lifting frame having a portion that at least partially raises from the main frame and a first bin connected to the first lifting frame. The first bin is configured to be raised from the main frame. The transport vehicle includes a second assembly that includes a second lifting frame that has a portion that at least partially raises from the main frame. The second assembly includes a second bin connected to the second lifting frame. The second bin is configured to be raised from the main frame. The transport vehicle includes a hydraulic system in communication with the first and second assemblies. The hydraulic system allows operation of only one of the first and second assemblies at a time.

A cargo bed for a utility vehicle includes a cargo bed frame extending in a vehicle body longitudinal direction and a side surface panel covering a vehicle width direction inner side of the cargo bed frame. The cargo bed frame has an upper side frame and a lower side frame that are arranged separately in the vertical direction and extend in the vehicle body longitudinal direction. The side surface panel is arranged on the vehicle width direction inner side of the upper side frame and the lower side frame from the upper side frame through the lower side frame. The side surface panel has a bulging portion bulging to the vehicle width direction outer side relative to the vehicle width direction inner end portion of the upper side frame and the lower side frame in the vertical direction from the upper side frame side to the lower side frame side.

A selectively lowerable and raisable vehicle trailer system for raising and lowering of a vehicle trailer to expedite loading and unloading of cargo includes a rear wheel assembly. An elongated trailer is pivotally supported by the rear wheel assembly. The trailer is positional between a horizontal transport orientation and a sloped or angled loading/unloading orientation on the rear wheel assembly. The rear wheel assembly is selectively adjustable in position along the trailer between a rear transport position and a forward loading/unloading position, rearward and forward of the trailer center of gravity, respectively. A wheel assembly adjustment mechanism engages the rear wheel assembly. The wheel assembly adjustment mechanism operably engages the rear wheel assembly to facilitate selective positioning of the rear wheel assembly between the transport position and the loading/unloading position. A method of loading and unloading cargo onto and from a vehicle trailer is also disclosed.

A work implement tilt control system for a tracked vehicle having a frame and a work implement mounted to the frame, the system comprising: a lifting unit configured to controllably raise or lower at least part of the work implement; an input device actionable by a first and second types of external actions associated with raising or lowering of the work implement; and a vehicle computer configured to send a signal to the lifting unit to carry out a lowering cycle of the work implement in case the vehicle computer determines that a set of conditions has been met. In some cases, the set of conditions includes: (i) a movement characteristic of the tracked vehicle exceeds a threshold; and (ii) the input device has been actioned by the first type of external action since carrying out the most recent lowering cycle of the work implement.
