ABSTRACT:
Arm and fork mechanism for moving a refuse retainer with respect to a refuse container which has an opening in the upper portion thereof. Arms are pivotally mounted adjacent the refuse container. The arms are movable between a position adjacent a side portion of the refuse container and are also movable to a position above the refuse container. A plurality of forks is supported by the arms and angularly movable with respect to the arms. A fluid motor is operably joined to the arms and operably joined to the forks for angularly moving the forks with respect to the arms. The fluid motor is provided with a plurality of operation positions. Thus, the forks are angularly movable by the fluid motor to any one of a plurality of angular positions for lifting and dumping a refuse retainer.
