ABSTRACT:
A refuse collection vehicle has a hopper and a compacting platen. A slide cover is disposed behind the platen and automatically moves rearwardly and forwardly therewith when the platen is short stroking or otherwise moving in at least a portion of the hopper area. The slide cover and platen move together as a unit at all times in this situation. When the platen is moved rearwardly in a full stroke during a compaction cycle, the platen and slide cover are automatically disengaged at a selected point in the stroke to permit the platen to freely proceed rearwardly. Upon retraction of the platen, it and the slide cover automatically re-engage.
