ABSTRACT:
A trash collection apparatus is described for mounting on a side loading trash collection vehicle. A frame member is extendably secured to the vehicle for movement away from and toward the truck body of the vehicle. A pair of vertically extending guide rails are secured to the frame; each guide rail incorporates a top section that is pivoted about a horizontal axis. A carriage is mounted for movement along the guide rails and incorporates a pair of gripping arms which are pivoted for movement in a horizontal plane to grasp a trash container and are also pivoted for movement in vertical planes for moving to a stowage position. A hydraulic piston and cylinder are utilized to raise the carriage along the guide rails to position the carriage on the top sections of the rails. Hydraulic actuators are provided for tilting the top sections of the rails when the carriage is positioned on the top sections to tip the carriage, gripping arms, and the trash container over the side of the vehicle.
