LINER FOR A WORK MACHINE BODY

摘要

A liner (38) for a body (10) such as of an off-highway truck protects the body (10) from wear. The liner (38) has a plate (40) with openings (50) through the plate (40) arranged in a preselected pattern. The plate (40) is of a size to fit a particular portion of the body (10) and is typically removably fastened to the body (10). The openings (50) in the plate (40) cause material to tumble, instead of to slide, when being removed from the truck (14). The tumbling action, and the thickness of the plate (40), reduces wear on the body (10) during material dumping.
