It had a removable tail-gate, and its load could be dumped by the simple expedient of removing the tail-gate, releasing the shafts from the harness and permitting the law of gravity to function. It was used around the farm, around town for delivery of coal and similar loads and in the road construction work of the day. See cited quotation.
