DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
This invention relates to a mobile skip bin handling vehicle and in particular to a material transport motor vehicle having an arrangement to store a plurality of skip bins.
Material transport motor vehicles are well known and motor vehicles with means to engage and lift skip bins so as to empty these into a portion of the motor vehicle are also known.
Such vehicles however are intended for a single purpose and we have discovered that there can be designed a motor vehicle which can efficiently and economically handle skip bins, unload these, and as well store a plurality of these on the motor vehicle in a way that is compatible with conventional height and side clearances for transport.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a multipurpose motor vehicle which can provide for material transport as well as for skip bin storage. At the least, the object is to provide the public with a useful alternative.
According to the invention then this can be said to reside in a mobile skip bin handling vehicle comprising a vehicle with hydraulically activated arms attached either side, a storage area capable of storing many skip bins, and a removable bulk tipping bin with the capacity to contain the contents of a number of skip bins.
In preference the invention can be said to reside in a mobile skip bin handling material transport motor vehicle characterised in that there are included hydraulic operable arm means attached to at least one side of the vehicle and adapt to engage and lift and rotate each of selected skip bins, a drivers cabin at or toward a front of the vehicle, a storage area adapted to provide space to store a number of skip bins nested one within the other in an area being located between the drivers cabin and a removable bulk bin located at or toward a rear of the vehicle.
In preference the vehicle has arm means that are attached to both sides of the vehicle.
In preference, the arm means comprise for each side of the vehicle, a first arm, a first end of which is pivotally secured to the chassis and a second end of which pivotally supports the second arm.
In preference, the second arm has a third arm pivotally secured to it, and a bracing extending between the second arm on one side of the vehicle to the second arm on the other side of the vehicle.
In preference, the removable bulk tipping bin is removable by being slidable to a position fully rearward of the chassis of the vehicle.
In preference, there are attachment means by which the bulk tipping bin is attachable to the arms and its position can be controlled thereby to effect a tipping of the bin for removal of material therefrom.
In preference, the first arm is attached to the vehicle chassis through a quadrilateral linkage with a hydraulic arm attached to a portion of the quadrilateral linkage whereby to assist mechanical advantage through its full range of action of the ram with respect to the first arm.
For a better understanding of the invention it will now be described with the assistance of drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the embodiment showing the bulk tipping bin in its storage position on the vehicle, a stack of skip bins nested one within the other and located between a front of the bin and the cabin of the motor vehicle, and the respective arms holding in an elevated position above the cabin of the vehicle, skip bin;
FIG. 2 is a side elevation of the embodiment showing in this case the bulk tipping bin being located at a fully rearward position of the truck so that it is off loaded and there being shown in dotted outline firstly an intermediate position and a loaded position on the truck, and the hydraulic operable arm means as shown through three positions where the solid outline shows the arms being connected through a cable to a front lower portion of the bulk tipping bin, and the arms then being shown in two further positions whereby the bulk tipping bin is being pulled up and forward to a fully loaded position;
FIG. 3 is a side elevation of the embodiment in which the vehicle is partially loade
