ABSTRACT:
A refuse collection truck includes a lift arm which mounts a longitudinally moveable slide, and the slide in turn pivotally mounts a faceplate of the type adapted to engage a refuse collection container which is positioned along the roadside. The longitudinal movement of the slide permits the contents of the container to be dumped into a selected one of two chambers of the collection hopper on the track, and where split containers are utilized, the contents of one side of a lifted container may be deposited in one chamber of the hopper and the contents of the other side of the container may be deposited in the other chamber. The pivotal mounting of the faceplate to the slide permits the faceplate to be aligned with misoriented containers.
