A vehicle comprising a chassis (28) supported on a plurality of wheels (29) to render it mobile, a load carrying body (30) supported on the chassis (28) for movement in a vertical direction and a lateral direction relative to the chassis (28), the body (30) having a selectively openable discharge passage arranged to discharge material from the bottom of the body (30) laterally to one side of the chassis (28). A floor structure (10) forms the major portion of the bottom of the body (30), and is mounted for pivotal movement relative to the remainder of the body (30), from a position closing the bottom of the body to a position (32) downwardly inclined from one side of the body toward the opposite side. The floor (10) thereby forming a shute to direct material to gravity flow from the body (30) down the shute to be discharged to one side of the vehicle. A crane (25) may be used to raise the body (30). Wings (11) may be used to prevent spillage when discharging the load from the body (30).
