TOP PIVOT DOOR/REAR DOOR LATCHES/GATE DELAY
Located at the bottom left, center, and right-hand side of the rear door
are the door latches. The latches lock into the apron chain to hold the
door closed when loading. When the hydraulics for the main apron chain
are activated, the latches automatically flip to open with the movement of
the apron chains. The rear door is held open by two hydraulic cylinders.
This system allows for a total cleanout of the box. Upon completion
of unloading & switching off the apron chain, the rear door will close.
