摘要： An apparatus and method for coupling different body types to a truck, specifically interchanging between dump and trailer bodies, so that a single truck may be used to perform dump truck and tractor truck operations. The truck includes a pair of rearward extending frame rails and a mounting bracket to which a 5th wheel may be releaseably attached. The truck is adapted for carrying at least one of a 5th wheel and a hydraulic lift system and, thus, is capable of being coupled to a trailer body or dump body, respectively. The truck is changed over from having a dump body to a trailer body by lifting the dump body with its hydraulic cylinder; attaching a hoist to a dump body; lifting the dump body with a hoist; removing at least part of the weight of the hydraulic cylinder from the truck; detaching the hydraulic cylinder from the truck; removing at least part of the weight of the dump body from a coupling pin holding the dump body to the truck; removing the coupling pin; positioning a 5th wheel onto mounting brackets; securing the 5th wheel to the mounting brackets; and coupling a trailer body to the 5th wheel. The method may be reversed in order to change over the truck from carrying a trailer body to a dump body.

摘要翻译： 一种用于将不同车身类型连接到卡车的装置和方法，特别是在转储和拖车车身之间进行交换，以便可以使用单个卡车来进行自卸卡车和拖拉机操作。 卡车包括一对向后延伸的框架轨道和安装支架，第五轮可以可释放地附接到该支架上。 卡车适于承载第五轮和液压提升系统中的至少一个，因此能够分别联接到拖车车身或倾卸车身。 通过用液压缸提升倾卸车身，将卡车从倾倒车身转移到拖车车身; 将起重机连接到倾卸车身; 用葫芦提升倾卸车身; 从卡车卸下液压缸的重量的至少一部分; 将液压缸从卡车上拆下; 将卸载体的至少一部分重量从将转储体固定到卡车上的连接销上移除; 拆下连接销; 将第5轮定位到安装支架上; 将第5轮固定到安装支架上; 并将拖车主体连接到第五轮。 该方法可以颠倒，以便在卡车上转换从装载拖车车身到倾卸车身。
