Benefits of technology
[0029] It is, therefore, an advantage of the present invention to provide a truck, a system and a method for transporting articles which enables a user to load, transport and unload materials, the truck having a cab and further having a dumping bin and a storage compartment attached to the cab.
[0030] Another advantage of the present invention to provide a truck, a system and a method for transporting articles which enables a user to operate a dumping bin from within a cab of the truck.
[0031] Still another advantage of the present invention is to provide a truck, a system and a method for transporting articles which enables more efficient dumping of materials placed within a dumping bin of the truck.
[0032] Yet another advantage of the present invention is to provide a truck, a system and a method for transporting articles having a ramp attached to a storage compartment wherein the ramp may be raised or lowered.
[0033] A still further advantage of the present invention is to provide a truck, a system and a method for transporting articles having a ramp attached to a storage compartment which enables loading and unloading of materials from the storage compartment.
[0034] Moreover, an advantage of the present invention is to provide a truck, a system and a method for transporting articles having a ramp attached to a storage compartment wherein the ramp may be raised or lowered by actuation of a controller located within the interior of the cab.
Problems solved by technology
Often, the storage compartment is elevated which may cause difficulty for a user to load or unload the truck.
However, positioning a ramp proximate to the loading area of the truck is often a labor-intensive task.
Exiting the cab may be inconvenient in certain instances.
The proximity of the truck to the dumping area may cause the user difficulty in exiting the cab.
In other instances, such as inclement weather, the user is inconvenienced by having to exit the cab of the truck to operate the dumping bin.
These duties are often difficult to perform due to deficiencies of known trucks.

Embodiment Construction
[0044] The present invention generally provides a truck, a system and a method for transporting articles having a cab wherein a dumping bin and a storage compartment are attached to the cab. The dumping bin may be raised or lowered by a hydraulic cylinder. Moreover, raising or lowering of the dumping bin may be controlled by a controller within an interior of the cab. The storage compartment may have a ramp attached that may be raised or lowered to assist with loading or unloading materials, equipment or the like from the storage compartment. The ramp may be operated manually or may be operated remotely.
[0045] Referring now to the drawings wherein like numerals refer to like parts, FIG. 1 illustrates a truck 2 in an embodiment of the present invention. The truck 2 may have a cab 4, a dumping bin 6 and a storage compartment 8. The dumping bin 6 may be positioned adjacent to the cab 4 with the storage compartment 8 adjacent to a rear 3 of the dumping bin 6 as generally illustrated in...

Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 124,512 filed on Apr. 17, 2002.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention generally relates to a truck, a system and a method for transporting articles having a dumping bin and a storage compartment attached to a cab of the vehicle. More specifically, the present invention relates to a truck having a dumping bin attached to the cab wherein the dumping bin may be operated from within the cab. The truck further has a storage compartment having a ramp attached to the storage compartment. The ramp may be lowered to enable loading and unloading of the truck. The ramp may also be raised to provide a gate for the storage compartment. [0003] It is, of course, generally known to load and / or unload materials, equipment or the like onto a vehicle. A truck is one example of a vehicle onto which a user may load or unload materials or equipment. Known trucks may have a cab having a storage com...
