Linear incline lift and dump device

A linear incline lift and dump device comprising:

• a linear incline structure that provides a linear traversing means for lifting and dumping carts, tilt trucks, or wheel barrows, said linear incline structure comprising:
• a left base member;
• a left incline rail defined by first and second ends, said rail extending upwardly at an angle between vertical and horizontal from an attachment point formed at said first end and extending to said left base member;
• a right base member;
• a right incline rail defined by first and second ends, said rail extending upwardly at an angle between vertical and horizontal from an attachment point formed at said first end and extending to said right base member;
• right and left vertical support members, said right vertical support member extending from said right incline rail to said right base member, and said left vertical support member extending from said left incline rail to said left base member;
• a plurality of retractable wheels extendable downwardly from said right and left base members responsive to actuation of an extension lever;
• a lifting hopper defined by a bottom panel, a right side panel defined by an upper rear corner, a left side panel defined by an upper rear corner, an angled front panel and an open back side, said hopper configured to traverse said incline rails from a load position to a dump position, said lifting hopper configured to accept the carts, tilt trucks, or wheel barrows by rolling or otherwise pushing said carts, tilt trucks or wheel barrows through said open back side, said lifting hopper further comprising, at least one securing mechanism for releasibly securing the carts, tilt trucks, or wheel barrows within said hopper, and still further comprising at least one rotatable restraining arm configured to cooperate with a handle of, a said wheel barrow to restrain a said wheel barrow in said hopper, each said arm extending from the vicinity of one of said corners;
• and
• hopper moving means for causing said lifting hopper to traverse from said load position to said dump position, said moving means comprising at least one chain attached to said hopper, a plurality of sprockets engaging said chain and at least one gear motor for driving said chain.
