Koehring Dumptor

This rig uses a variation of a gravity dump.  Release the catch while loaded and slam on the brakes and the bed dumps the material.  Go in reverse and hit the brakes and the bed will reset.

A couple of videos.  It is a single function vehicle so as hydraulics improved for the construction equipment industry, a multi-use wheeled loader would run circles around a Dumptor.

It doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Always interesting to see one in action.  Looks like running one could be a very long day!

And I would imagine that "back in the day" , they were being loaded by cable shovels or backhoes.  Add the stress of watching that bucket swing toward you-then again back then, operators were "operators"😎
