ABSTRACT:
A mechanism (20) for automatic dumping of standardized portable refuse containers (35) into a hopper (22) of a refuse collection vehicle (24). The mechanism includes an assembly (32) for clamping the protruding lip (33) of the container (35). The assembly (32) is then tilted over the hopper (22) by an actuator (54) that is connected to the assembly (32) via two links (40, 42). The components of the mechanism (20) are arranged to minimize the extent to which the mechanism (20) protrudes outwardly from the hopper (22).
