Abstract

A tipping apparatus for a truck body includes a piston and cylinder type thrustor connected at one end to the truck body and connected at its other end to a slide on the truck chassis. Initial extension of the thrustor is converted, via a triangular push rod pivoted on the chassis and linked at one end to the slide thereby providing to a substantially vertically upward lifting force on the truck body.
