摘要 |
The invention relates to a system and apparatus for use with a vehicle having a dump bed for carrying a material and having a moveable panel defining an outlet in the dump bed for dispensing material carried in the dump bed to a road surface when the dump bed is raised, comprising a baffle positioned in the dump bed extending upwardly from a floor of the bed, and extending from a region of the moveable panel to a region of a wall of the bed for directing the material to a portion of the outlet as gravitational force acts on the material when the dump bed is raised. Such system and apparatus may further include a receptacle coupled to the vehicle for receiving a flow of the material passing through the portion of the outlet and having a variable opening for dispensing controlled amounts of the material to the surface. Such system and apparatus may further include a leveling sled for leveling the material after the material leaving the dump bed reaches the road surface.
