Abstract
In an automatic tailgate of a dump truck a continuous single cable extends from a left side gate lever arm to a right side gate lever arm after passing below the dump body of the truck and being movably secured to the truck frame. When the dump body is in a dumping mode the continuous single cable will allow equalization of tailgate lifting forces.
