ABSTRACT:
A lift mechanism for use with a refuse truck for lifting and dumping refuse carts. The device includes a frame which is adapted for mounting on a refuse vehicle and a pan assembly which is adapted to engage refuse carts. A pair of guide arms provided which have a first end pivotally connected to a frame and a second end which is pivotally connected to the pan assembly. A first actuator arm is provided having a first end connected to the frame and a second end connected to a reciprocating actuator. A pair of second actuator arms is provided having a first end connected to a frame and having a second end connected to the pan assembly. A connecting arm is pivotally connected at a first end to a second end of the first actuator arms and at a second end to the second actuator arms at a location between the first end and second end of the second actuator arms. The connecting arm provides corresponding movement of the second actuator arm in response to movement of first actuator arm. The reciprocating actuator moves the pan assembly through the first actuator arms, the connecting arm, and the second actuator arms between a receiving position for engaging the refuse cart and a dumping position for emptying the refuse cart.
