ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE There is disclosed a mobile cargo container for transporting fluid-like materials such as cannery waste. The cargo container includes a floor conveyor extending rearward of and beyond the container bottom for discharging materials from the container through a rear discharge outlet. A trailer door is connected to the container to pivot between an open position wherein the door is above the discharge outlet, and a closed position wherein the door seals the container in a fluid tight fit. The discharge outlet is defined by side walls of the trailer which are angled downwardly in a rearward direction from the top of the container to a point wherein the side walls project downwardly in a forward direction to meet with a bottom portion of the container. The side edges and bottom of the container door are configured to fit against the container side walls and bottom portion in a sealing fit by compression of an elastomeric gasket therebetween so that the floor conveyor and sprocket assembly are enclosed within the container. The trailer door includes a bottom portion having an interior surface which is pressed against the underside of a member projecting rearwardly from the container floor. The container door, including the door bottom portion, is held against the container side walls and bottom portion by an hydraulically actuated piston/cylinder assembly. Wedges extending rearwardly from the bottom of the container bottom portion are utilized to engage the bottom portion of the container door in a wedge-like fit to improve the sealing between the door bottom portion and the container bottom portion. An hydraulically actuated overcenter mechanism or a manually actuated overcenter mechanism are utilized to help maintain the seal between the container door and the container.
