Abstract A flexible dump truck tray for a dump truck comprising: a floor, a front wall and at least two side walls which are connected together and can receive and contain a payload of material and a canopy extending forwardly from the front wall to shield a cab of the dump truck during loading of material into the tray, the canopy being configured for canopy locking, i.e. to support a part of the payload, the canopy having a concave shape defining a cavity for receiving the part of the payload, and the canopy and the remainder of the tray being configured so that when the tray is loaded the centre of gravity of the payload is forward of the location it would have been without cavity loading and there is a more even load distribution over the forward and rear axles of the dump truck. 110 118114 130 116 132 Figure 8 132 124a 128 124b Figure 9
