My dump truck has a bit of a problem. I use it to haul pit run. My pit is located right beside a large lake. One end of the pit is open on the water. After I dump my load in the front of the box (closest to the driver) at the outside corners dirt sticks to the box. After it builds up to the point where it becomes a lot of weight and the box comes down too fast and rough. After so many loads I have to climb in the box when it's up with a rock bar to work the dirt loose. It's a five ton single axel dump truck with a regular naked steel box. No liners or nothing like that. It also doesn't raise all that high. I would say about 65 degrees is the lift height (it's a converted truck). Any home remedy ideas?

16" triangle welded into front corners should work. That should keep the wet dirt from impacting into a square corner so tight.Worth a shot.

I would try tacking in a piece of plate across the front of the body at about a 45 degree angle. A piece about 16-18 inches wide should work and you can eyeball the angle till it looks right. A lot of the new dump trailers are coming with sloped fronts, no corners = no stuck material.

Rohmar makes a product called Slide Tech. We use it in our Sanding trucks in the winter when plowing snow.
Nothing sticks to the sides. Works for lawn mowers too.

I've used a spray lube with silicone in it,works good for a while.I finally went to a local scrap yard and found a sheet of white slick plastic and bolted it in the bottom and sides,I think it is called uhmw or something like that.It is only like a 1/4 inch thick and is very slick and tough,it helps protect the bed and doesn't make as much noise when dumping stuff in it either.

Had a similar problem with my old Ford 5 ton dump and bolted on some pieces of thick rubber I got someplace years ago, I think some strips of heavy inner tube might work the same. Its just enough to break the surface tension up and let the the load slide out. Maybe give it a try?

I tried a wee bit of old engine oil before. it worked for a bit. (don't tell anyone) perhaps i'll go with a liner. All in all it's not a big deal but when I get a few extra dollars and a free afternoon I'll put a liner in. Thanks for the advice guys!

I've heard that spraying it with some type of regular, cheap cooking spray will cause the material to release and it's a little more "environmentally friendly" than diesel fuel. Beyond that about the only other options are to get a liner or to install one of the ecentric vibratory deals like they use on rail cars, hoppers, etc to shake the material out. Good luck.

Spray it with diesel before loading? Not exactly EPA approved.

We always used diesel fuel(a hand sprayer works well)when hauling asphalt we just couldn`t do it in front of the state inspectors.

Same here. In fact, that's what I'll be doing again all day today. I guess some good things never change.
