ABSTRACT Apparatus which enhances the load carrying capacity of a dump truck without interfering with dumping of the dump bed (10). A rigid frame (20) which is added to the back end of the truck includes a beam (70) carrying an axle (78) and a pair of wheels (22). A hydraulic cylinder (30) pivots the beam (70) between a load bearing position in which the wheels (22) travel on the roadway to bear part of the dump bed load and a raised position in which the beam (70) extends vertically between a pair of side by side tailgates (32). A hinged door (50) operates in the space (42) between the two tailgates (32) to prevent spillage of the load through the space (42) while accom- modating extension of the beam (70) through the space (42) when the dump bed (10) is raised to dump its load. A diverter (62) in the dump bed (10) deflects material away from the space (42) and toward the tailgate openings (44).
