Abstract
A pivoting back one-spot coke quenching car for use in coke batteries having a coke bench structure with clearances which make the use of one-spot cars impractical. The novel structure of the present invention permits the car to have sufficient volume to receive coke in one-spot while providing a pivoting back that allows the car to tilt, travel and dump in coke batteries that have close clearances.

- (a) said back side being pivotably mounted to said ends to allow said back side to pivot forward and toward the centerline of said body, and
