A retainer plate configured to retain a center pin for an equalizer bar comprises a first face and a second face opposite the first face; a first support arm having a first reduced contact portion; a second support arm having a second reduced contact portion; and a neck portion between the first support arm and the second support arm. The retainer plate can be symmetrical about a center vertical axis in an end view thereof, and the first support arm, the second support arm, and the neck portion can define a central concave recess configured to receive the center pin via an opening into the central concave recess defined between the first support arm and the second support arm. The first support arm can have a first set of openings through a thickness of the retainer plate and configured to receive respective fasteners therethrough, and the second support arm can have a second set of openings through the thickness of the retainer plate and configured to receive respective fasteners therethrough.

A payload container for containing a material to be hauled by a work machine is disclosed. The payload container includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall. A front wall extends between the first and second sidewalls. A canopy extends from a top of the front wall, and includes a mounting frame and at least one panel. The panel is formed of a non-metal material and is secured to the mounting frame.

Payload container for a work machine

A reinforced payload container may include a panel forming at least one of a floor, a sidewall, and a front wall. A first plurality of ribs may be attached to the panel and may include a first free edge and a first panel edge. A second plurality of ribs may also be attached to the panel and may intersect with the first plurality of ribs. The second plurality of ribs may include a second free edge and a second panel edge. The first plurality of ribs may include first rib slots along the first free edge, and the second plurality of ribs may include second rib slots along the second panel edge. The first rib slots and the second rib slots may be aligned so that the first rib slots receive the second ribs and the second rib slots receive the first ribs.
