what and how do you dump your grass clippings

I'm wondering how you guys handle large amounts of grass clippings. If for instance you have a Walker mower with their GHS(Grass Handling System),you can dump from 6 to 9 cubic feet of clippings from their dump bucket. They say that you can tailgate unload it.

How do you do that? I've got some local contractors coming to me for solutions. Currently they are driving up tailgate ramps on some dump trailers and dumping the clippings. They can't pile them very high so they need to manually push it around. If the tires are wet, driving up and down the tailgate gives a pucker factor. They also have some 1 ton to 5 ton dump trucks and dump the GHS system into 30 and 39 gallon garbage cans and lift them over the side.

Is there some kind of powered dumping device available to mount on the dump trailer or dump truck? I'm looking for something powered to lift and dump.

In Walker's "Walker Talk" newsletter they show something made by a landscaping company in Massachusetts. It has a gas engine power hydraulic system and slides mounted to the side of a dump truck. Trouble is, it only dumps in one spot inside the truck.

Thanks for the input. I'm going design and build something for a local contractor that allows one operator to easily dump the clippings from his Walker into a bin that raises and dumps it into a 5 yard dump truck. Going to make it such that it evenly distributes the pile of grass. Will give you an update when it is complete.
