A tilting device is connected between the chassis and the dump frame, and a load carrier platform is slidably mounted on the dump frame. The load carrier platform includes longitudinally extending main girders which have upper, lower and side surfaces. The main girders are slidably engaged with the beams of the dump frame. A slide device is connected between the dump frame and the load carrying platform for sliding the load carrying platform on the dump frame. Moving pads slidable on the beams of the dump frame are fixed to the main girders at longitudinally forward positions on the main girders. The moving pads slidably engage the beams of the dump frame. The fixed pads are longitudinally aligned on and fixed to the top surfaces of the beams of the dump frame at intervals along the beams. The main girders are slidably disposed on the fixed pads, and one of the fixed pads have a longitudinally rearward position on each of the beams as a side surface that projects laterally from the dump frame a…
