An article dump truck has a front tractor unit connected to an associated rear trailer unit with a tipping container by an articulated coupling. The articulated coupling is operable to allow the front tractor unit and rear trailer unit to pivot about a vertical pivot axis, rams being provided to turn the front tractor unit and rear trailer unit about the pivot to steer the dump truck. The articulated coupling also allows the front tracter unit and rear trailer unit to rotate relative to each other about a longitudinal axis of the dump truck. In addition, the front tractor unit has a front chassis mounted on a pair of wheels by an independent suspension system.

To measure the loaded weight of a dump truck, accurately and inexpensively. In a dump truck comprising a set of equalizer bars respectively provided rotatably on the left and right-hand sides of a vehicle body; first vehicle wheels supported respectively by way of first suspension devices on one side of each equalizer bar; second vehicle wheels supported respectively by way of second suspension devices on the other side of each equalizer bar; and third vehicle wheels provided respectively on the left and right-hand sides of the vehicle body separately from the equalizer bars, and being supported respectively by way of third suspension devices; a first load applied to the second suspension device is detected; a second load applied to the third suspension device is detected; the angle of inclination of the vehicle body is detected; and a loaded weight is calculated on the basis of the first and second loads, and the angle of inclination.

This dump truck (1) is provided with: a vehicle body frame (2) disposed along the front / back direction and an upper deck section (2B) at which a driver seat is disposed; a front camera (11) disposed at the front of the upper deck section (2B) in a manner so as to be able to image in front of the vehicle body; a back camera (16) disposed at the back end of the vehicle body frame (2) in a manner so as to be able to image in back of the vehicle body; and left- / right-side first and second cameras (12, 13, 14, 15) respectively provided to the sides on the left and right of the upper deck section in a manner so as to be able to image from in front of to diagonally back from the vehicle body.

A dump truck (10) has a tipping body (30) in the form of a shell structure for holding material, which is pivotally mounted to the chassis (19) of the dump truck (10) for tilting about a transverse tipping axis. The truck (10) has at least one hoist pivot (33) configured for connection to a respective tipping ram (18) mounted to the chassis (19). The hoist pivot (33) is positioned to abut against the underside of the shell structure (36) when acted upon by the tipping ram (18) and tilt the tipping body (30) about the tipping axis. However, the hoist pivot (33) is not integral or welded to the shell structure (36). High stress concentrations are thereby avoided or significantly lessened in the tipping body shell in the vicinity of the hoist pivot, and there are no welds between the hoist pivot and the shell structure to become fatigued or crack. This enables a simplified and lighter single skin shell structure to be used for the tipping body.

The present disclosure relates to a dump truck or to a truck, comprising a diesel electric traction drive and a cooling system, wherein two radiator fans and / or cooler blowers of the cooling system are hydraulically driven.

A transport container configured for use with a dump truck tractor trailer. The container comprises: a) a pivotable lid configured to cover and expose an open top of the container, the open top allowing addition of contents to the container; b) a pivotable end gate configured to cover and expose an open back end of the container, the open back end allowing dumping of contents of the container; and c) at least one baffle inside the container, the baffle pivotably connected to opposing sidewalls of the container and forming a substantially vertical barrier preventing substantial movement of contents of the container past the baffle during dumping and transport when locked in a substantially vertical position by an operator-controlled retention mechanism operatively connected between the baffle and at least one of the opposing sidewalls of the container.

The invention discloses an overturning method utilizing an overturning device of a mining dump truck box hopper. The overturning method comprises the following steps that: a box hopper clamp matched with a box hopper to be overturned in structure and size is selected, and the box hopper clamp is connected with a driving shaft of the overturning device of the mining dump truck box hopper; after theoverturning device of the mining dump truck box hopper is connected with the box hopper, a rotation center line is guaranteed to coincide with a gravity center line perpendicular to the side face ofthe box hopper, and in order to prevent the clamp from moving on the box hopper when the box hopper is overturned, a check block can be welded to the box hopper; 1.5 times of safety coefficients are reserved for strength levels of selected steel wire ropes and lifting rings; two hoisting tools are selected to hoist the box hopper through the steel wire ropes tied to hoisting arms, and the height needs to meet the overturning condition of the box hopper; and a motor controller is operated to enable a motor to operate, a driving fluted disc is driven to drive the box hopper clamp to rotate through a driving shaft, namely, the box hopper is overturned along with the box hopper clamp, and the box hopper is placed on the ground after being rotated by 180 degrees, so that overturning operation of the box hopper is completed. Therefore, the safety risk of overturning the mining dump truck box hopper can be reduced.
