ABSTRACT:
A disposal vehicle with a loading apparatus providing a method of lifting a pair of forks from the horizontal portion at the rear of a trash hauling vehicle to directly above its bed. The forks are tilted 90 degrees when positioned on the top of the bed, dumping the contents of a container attached thereto. This is accomplished using a hydraulic system having arm lifting cylinders and bucket emptying cylinders providing the mechanical energy to pivotally lift this pair of arms from the horizontal to the vertical position. Further, a pair of travelers are slideably attached to the arms and have a carriage containing the lifting forks pivotally connected therebetween. After the container has dumped, the carriage returns again following the contour for the vehicle bed rotating the forks simultaneously as it returns to the horizontal position. A pair of securing members pivoted by pneumatic pressure contain entire carriage and fork assembly for over-the-road transportation of the disposal vehicle.
