Portuguese term or phrase: caçamba
Can anyone remember the right name for this part of a dump truck (e.g. on a Randon RK 425B). I know what it is but can't remeber the word in English...(and it's a rush job)!

Tks a lot.

dump box
Explanation:
Are you referring to the part that actually tips the load out at the back of the truck?

In which case, the above.

Here's what Wikipedia says (for what it's worth):
An articulated dump truck has a hinge between the cab and the DUMP BOX, but is distinct from semi trailer trucks in that the cab is a permanent fixture, not a separable vehicle....

AND...
Heavy duty truck dump box for pickup trucks capable of lifting, carrying, or hauling 2000 pounds of cargo.

HYDRAULIC DUMP BOX Dump box equipped with self-contained power pack and front ... SELF POWERED HYDRAULIC DUMP BOX Operates as a conventional dump box. ...

etc...

Tks to all for the suggestions. As the job I needed this for was a rush one (about an hour to do it!), I didn't have time to even check out your suggestions, but went for the one that seemed to fit best. Not ideal, I know, but what can you do?
