ABSTRACT:
A refuse collection vehicle of the type comprising a hopper which is movable between a first position in which refuse may be loaded into the hopper and a second position in which the refuse in the hopper may be transferred to a storage chamber within the body of the vehicle by packer means comprising a pivotally mounted plate or series of prongs which is movable from one end of the hopper to the other to push refuse from the hopper into the storage chamber characterized in that the hopper has a curved base which, when the hopper is in its first position, extends upwardly both forwardly and rearwardly from the lowest point of the hopper so that refuse is retained in the curved base the arrangement being such that when the hopper is in its second position, the packer means is located with its outer or free edge at the rear edge of the curved base of the hopper, the discharge or `push` stroke of the packer means being such as to cause the outer or free edge of the packer means to move in a path which is substantially coincident with the curved hopper base.
