ABSTRACT:
A tailgate assembly for a refuse collection vehicle includes a swing-link compaction mechanism and accommodates rear-mounted lifting mechanisms for refuse containers. Upper and lower torsion members extend between the tailgate side walls. The upper torsion member is spaced horizontally from the rearmost edge of the tailgate side wall, and the lower torsion member is spaced horizontally from the rearmost edge of the tailgate side wall at least to the same extent as the upper torsion member. Because of the horizontal spacing of the upper and lower torsion members from the rearmost edge of the tailgate side wall, a large, unobstructed upper opening is provided to accommodate the hoisting and inverting of refuse containers.
