ABSTRACT:
A vehicle for transporting garbage containers or the like fron one place to another. The vehicle includes a mast which is disposed on a flat bed to the rear of a truck cab and which is capable of traveling longitudinally along the length of the truck bed from one end adjacent the cab to the other end. Extending from the mast is a boom and pivotally secured to the distal end thereof is a fork lift assembly. The boom may be raised or lowered hydraulically while the attitude of the fork lift assembly may also be adjusted hydraulically. A parallel motion mechanism links the fork lift assembly to the mast and maintains the fork lift assembly at a pre-adjusted attitude regardless of the elevation of the boom. Hydraulically-operated clamping arms are provided on the fork lift assembly to clamp a lid down on a container during lifting of the container onto the truck and during transportation of the container to another location.
