Abstract:
A dump body which dissuades material from sitting on a top surface of a sidewall of the dump body and thereby reduces spillage while hauling material is disclosed. The dump body may additionally allow an operator of a loader to clearly distinguish the edge of the dump body to facilitate loading and reduce structural damage. The dump body may further create a lower center of gravity while hauling the same payload, which may reduce the risk of rolling the dump body. The dump body may include a pair of sidewalls attached on opposing sides of a bottom wall and extending upwardly, with each having a top surface inclined toward an interior of the dump body. The incline may start at an inside edge of the sidewall and extend upwardly to an outside edge of the sidewall residing at a very outer extent of the sidewall.
