The gravity wagon, or slant wagon, is an angled hopper style wagon that utilizes

A gravity wagon has three sides which are angled at about 45 degrees and one side that is vertical. An unloading door is located at the bottom of the vertical side where the three angled sides come together. This design causes the contents of the wagon to funnel towards the door so that no effort has to be put forth to unload the contents other than opening the door, which opens upwards by the action of a lever or turning of a wheel.

The chassis used for gravity wagons is sometimes the same as the chassis used for hay wagons.
