All Steel 1 1-2 Yard Two-Way Side Dump Car
[All Steel 1 1-2 Yard Two-Way Side Dump Car]
This dump car is particularly adapted for use in quarries in connection with lime or cement works, where a light easy running car is required. The body and truck frame is unusually rigid for a small capacity car, which adds much to its life. The body of the car is built of steel plate strongly braced with steel angles and the top rocker bearing is a steel casting. The bottom bearing is a forged jaw with a square shank which sets into a recess in the truck frame in such a manner that it cannot raise in dumping, but the body may be lifted from the trucks without removing any bolts or keys. The object of this construction is that the body will become separated from the truck in case the car is derailed and rolls down an embankment permitting the two parts to be handled with little difficulty. The angle of dump is ample to clear the load and the door is free to swing permitting a free discharge of the load without bringing any shock upon the door, which in the case of the door being held in a fixed position often causes an upset car and the consequent disabling of the car. The door closes and locks automatically as the body is righted. The truck frame is built of steel I-beams and channels and the drawhead is a heavy forging and fitted with draft springs. One man may easily dump the loaded car and bring the body back into position. The wheels are 16-inch chilled cast iron.
