ABSTRACT:
A vehicle having a body for receiving trash or other material from a container is fitted with a loading arrangement which lifts the container from the ground, raises the container and tips it to dump the contents into the vehicle body. The loading arrangement includes an upright mast assembly attached to the vehicle, a container engaging device mounted on the mast assembly for guided movement therealong and a drive mechanism for raising and lowering the engaging device, the drive mechanism including an articulated linkage having a lower end pivotally connected to the engaging device for movement about a horizontal axis. The upper end of the linkage is mounted for swinging movement about a second horizontal axis. A power device is connected to the upper end portion of the linkage to swing the latter in a vertical plane transverse to the vehicle axis. Upward swinging movement raises the container engaging device along the mast assembly to the upper end of its path of travel and then tips the container in a tipping mode.
