Dump truck body with a rear lateral conveyor

A dump body for hauling, dumping, and dispensing aggregate material when pivotally mounted on a truck frame having front and rear ends, a longitudinal centerline, and front and rear axles supported from the frame, wherein the dump body comprises:

• a receptacle having a floor which includes a back edge locatable rearward of the rear axle, a pair of sidewalls extending from and on opposite sides of the floor, and a front wall extending from the floor and between the sidewalls;
• a back wall spanning said sidewalls at said back edge and thereby defining with the receptacle a single interior space extending from the front wall to the back wall, for holding said material;
• a conveying system mounted in the floor rearward of the rear axle and extending at least partly below the floor between said opposing sides of the floor along a conveying axis oriented transversely to the frame longitudinal centerline;
• at least one dispensing passage substantially intersecting the conveying axis and completely penetrating said receptacle, for gravity dispensing of the conveyed material from the receptacle;
• and
• wherein the passage Penetrates the floor.
