Bulk material handling vehicle

A vehicle including a chassis and a load carrying container supported thereon, the container arranged for pivotable movement relative to the chassis of the vehicle to discharge material from the container in a lateral direction to a discharge side of the chassis, the container including a lower container body and an upper container body mounted thereto for operable movement with respect to said lower container body to provide a selectively openable discharge passage between the upper and lower container bodies, wherein the chassis is supported on a plurality of wheels to render it mobile, the container is a load carrying container supported on the chassis for transporting and discharging a load carried therein, said lower container body is pivotably connected to the chassis by a first pivot mechanism along a longitudinal first side thereof at the discharge side of the chassis and having a side discharge door therealong, and said upper container body is disposed above the lower container body and hingedly connected thereto by a second pivot mechanism along at least a longitudinal second side opposite to the first side, the load carrying container being operatively mounted on the chassis to be selectively movable relative thereto to discharge material from within the container, the container being moved such that the lower container body is tipped sideways about said first pivot mechanism to a discharge position with the door open and the upper container body pivots with respect to the lower container body to provide additional discharge opening for material discharged to the discharge side of the chassis.
