A cargo loader operable to load cargo into an opening of an enclosed trailer. The loader has an elongated bed with a front portion and a rear open portion. The opening of the trailer is positioned adjacent to the rear open portion of the bed. A pair of sidewalls flank the rear open portion and define an interior cargo receiving area. A carriage is moveably mounted to the bed and coupled to a drive assembly operable to move the carriage between the front portion and the rear open portion. The carriage is positioned on the front portion to allow cargo to be loaded into the cargo receiving area. The carriage is configured to push a ram longitudinally along the bed to push the cargo inside the cargo receiving area into the opening of the enclosed trailer.

A front loading refuse vehicle includes at least one positive displacement pump having an associated valve system in fluid communication with drive mechanism that operates a lifting arm, packer, a rear door of the vehicle, and a hoist for a refuse storage body. The valve system includes at least one closed-centered valve with a spool mechanism having a pressure compensator to maintain a constant flow rate of fluid through the valve regardless of differential in pressure across the valve for any given position of the spool mechanism. Two pumps with two separate hydraulic control systems are used with a side loading refuse vehicle. An electrical/electronic control system including a microprocessor operates the valve systems for each vehicle.

A dump wagon for transporting potted plants from one location to another and for unloading the potted plants. The dump wagon includes a wagon bed that tilts between a horizontal transport position and a tilted or inclined unloading position. A pusher at one end of the wagon bed is movable towards the other end of the wagon bed to push potted plants off the wagon as the wagon is slowly moved forwardly. The pusher is chain driven and automatically disengages the chains when the pusher reaches the other end of the wagon bed and the unloading operation is complete. Side rails prevent the potted plants from falling off the sides of the wagon, the side rails being movable out of the way for the purpose of loading the dump wagon.

An ejector blade adapted to be combined with an ejector truck or trailer body. In one embodiment, the blade comprises fluidly actuated vibrators for loosening material that has become adhered to the ejector blade. In another embodiment, the blade is heated to help prevent material from being frozen to the blade. In yet another embodiment, the blade comprises a plurality of low friction guides to aid the blade in moving through the receptacle body.

Loads carried by a haulage vehicle are transferred from the vehicle to a container in a manner that maintains an ordered segmentation of materials comprising each of the loads, where each segment comprises a different type of material. The container receives the load such that each segment forms a layer in the container, which in the case of a charge bucket for feeding an electric arc furnace creates a layering of the different types of material according to a desired recipe for melting scrap metal processed by the mill incorporating the furnace. The transferring of the load is implemented by a haulage truck having a rear eject body whose ejector blade pushes the segmented load out and into the container.

The cleanout cover system of this invention is operable with a container having a reciprocating slat-type conveyor for supporting and moving particulate material rearwardly at an unloading site. The container has laterally spaced side walls and a front connecting wall, the rear end being operable for unloading. The cleanout system includes a flexible cover sheet spanning the distance between the side walls and an elongated strap connected at one end to the center point of the front end of the cover and at its opposite end to a strap wind-up reel powered by a pneumatic motor. The reel and motor assembly is mounted on the container adjacent the upper end of the front wall of the container centrally between the side walls. A brake system associated with the reel serves to prevent unwinding of the strap when the pneumatic motor is deactivated after the strap is wound fully onto the reel with the cover suspending therefrom and permit unwinding of the strap when pulling tension is applied by the cover during unloading operation of the reciprocating slat-type conveyor of the container.

The present invention relates to a detachably attachable moving headboard trailer ejector and floor cleaning apparatus for use with a self-unloading trailer having a front end, a rear end, side walls, and either a reciprocating slat conveyor floor or a conveyor belt floor. The invention comprises, in one embodiment, a base, a panel sweeper, one or more panel sweeper support members, a means for traversing the panel sweeper, a tether bar, side flanges, and a base flange.

The invention relates to a bin-separation-type truck carriage self-dumping structure. The bin-separation-type truck carriage self-dumping structure comprises bending pushing plate mechanisms and sealing soft belts; the bending pushing plate mechanisms are symmetrically arranged in the cavity of a carriage; each symmetrical side comprises a bottom pushing plate and a side pushing plate which are hinged to each other; during contraction, the side pushing plates cling to each other, and the bottom pushing plates cling to the bottom surface of the carriage to form a large space; during extension,the bottom pushing plates extend out of the carriage from the side directions so that materials are prevented from being accumulated at wheels; and the sealing soft belts are arranged at clearances atthe hinge parts of the bending pushing plate mechanisms, so that the materials are prevented from being leaked. The bin-separation-type truck carriage self-dumping structure has the beneficial effects that the inner space is large; dumped materials are not accumulated at the wheels; fine materials are not leaked; motion is simple; and safety is high.

The horizontal push semi-trailer realizes automatic unloading of raw materials by driving the horizontal push rod through the transmission chain, and is not limited by the height space, thus improving its practicability.

The present disclosure relates to the spreading of a material (30) by pushing the material (30) from the back of a vehicle (10) using a material ejector system (40) whilst the vehicle (10) is moving. The depth of the spread material and how evenly it is spread is dependent on a number of factors that can be difficult and complicated for an operator of the vehicle (10) to control. In the present disclosure the speed at which the material is ejected from the vehicle (10) is set on the basis of a measured speed of the vehicle (10).
