One day I was thinking about putting a cube on the back of a new cab and chassis I was about to receive and when I discovered a special price on heavy duty trailer jacks, it got me thinking about being able to take the cube off so I could use it as a job shack from time to time. If I could do that, I could put a flat bed on it for the summer also.
But then I thought about the camper routine I'd experienced in the past. With something being so big and heavy, it would be real tipsy and I was sure it would take up half my mornings out there in the rain trying to change the payloads.
Then I thought: How automatic could I make it?
Something like a mini roll off truck was the most logical solution. But to make it work on a shorter wheel base lighter truck had a few issues I had to resolve. Most importantly, the frame rails had to be kept short and that's where the problem was.....

I used a match book cover for a straight edge on a scrape piece paper to play around with the geometry with a few ideas I had. I came up with the idea of moving the pivot point back and down, and it became call a pivotal-link method of dump.
With just a sketch and comparing distances marked on the edge of the match book, it looked as the most
efficient way to go.

I figured that I could just buy the equipment and build it myself. Having the welding equipment meant that I could build many other kinds of beds for it too. That was the part I wanted to get to, but this is America, things like this just don't happen in your back yard. If so, you pay for it with your life.

Kind of silly having a web-site to inform people about how handy a mini roll-off truck would be, but I didn't think it would be hard to explain to a carpenter in Australia, just how handy a sawzall is either. Rule 16
