ABSTRACT:
A new container moving vehicle for lifting and moving dumpsters and other similar types of rubbish containers. The inventive device includes a front vehicle portion which is similar to conventional pick-up truck type of vehicles, including a drivers cab, an engine for powering the vehicle, and front wheels. A U-shaped frame is rigidly attached to the rear of the front portion and extends rearwardly therefrom. The frame includes a base end which is secured to the rear of the front portion, and a pair of spaced arms extending from the base end. Each of the arms includes its own wheel assembly for supporting the arms upon the ground, and there is no connection between the wheel assemblies or the arms, such that the U-shape is substantially unobstructed. A U-shaped lift apparatus, having a base end and a pair of spaced arms which are parallel to the arms of the frame, is mounted on the U-shaped frame and is raised or lowered in a vertical direction relative thereto for raising and lowering the container. Hydraulic actuators are provided for raising and lowering the lift apparatus. Additional hydraulic actuators are provided for selectively engaging the lift apparatus with the container.
