ABSTRACT:
Compaction apparatus for a refuse collection vehicle provided with a body having a hopper to receive refuse. The hopper has opposed enclosure side walls. Hydraulic motor members are positioned adjacent the enclosure side walls and operate a packer member which extends between the enclosure side walls and which forces refuse from the hopper into another portion of the body for compaction of the refuse. The hydraulic motor members are thus positioned so that a maximum opening into the hopper is provided for receiving the refuse and for compaction thereof, and the packer member is of maximum length between the side walls to compact a maximum volume of refuse in the body during each compaction cycle.
