The Z-DUMPTM product is an accessory package (a dumping bin) that can be added to any full size pick-up truck with a 4'x8' payload bed. Once installed, this product converts a pick-up truck into a more versatile mini-dump truck that is capable of hauling and dumping payloads of up to 6,000 lbs. without the time consuming effort involved in manual unloading. The dumping bin is designed to fit snugly into the bed of the pick-up truck making it virtually invisible in its retracted position, thereby retaining the truck's sleek original factory appearance. This low-profile design minimizes the loss of original payload capacity and requires no significant modifications to the truck. A simple hydraulic system operates (raising and lowering) the bin, via a handheld controller. For convenience and safety, the controller is equipped with a 15-foot cord to allow remote actuation away from the dump action.
The Z-DUMPTM product is manufactured and shipped as a complete package, ready for final assembly and installation, by your typical do-it-yourselfer or a local shop that handles similar products (i.e., fifth wheels, trail hitches, snow plows, aftermarket truck accessories, etc.).
The Z-DUMPTM package includes the following components (reference Table 1):

| Key Advantages and Selling Points |
Aesthetics:
Truck retains factory appearance from all sides because dumping bin is completely hidden within truck bed and factory tailgate Factory tailgate is retained and fully functional Inside of bin appearance is that of a typical truck bed liner Tonneau covers and other truck accessories typically mounted to the top edge of the truck bed can be installed using the top edge of the bin Cylinders are located out of view and covered when not in use Integrated bin tailgate protects factory tailgate when hauling rough loads and is removable so 4’ x 8’ sheets of building materials can be hauled safely using the factory tailgate
Safety:
Interlocked tailgate switch deactivates hydraulics if factory tailgate is in closed position Lock-out function is automatic when controller cable is unplugged Prop-rods integrated on cylinders can lock the bin in the up position when access is required under bin Warning decals installed on each unit for hazards such as electrical power and pitch points Integrated hydraulic flow control that prevents loaded bin from descending in an uncontrolled manner
Hydraulic unit is mounted to the side of the truck frame (out of sight), not in truck bed, which simplifies installation, maintenance, and service (i.e., bin does not have to be in up position to fill or service hydraulic unit)
