ABSTRACT:
A trash collecting apparatus is described for mounting on a trash collection vehicle for one man side loading operation. A pair of spaced apart parallel guide rails each having a long vertical straight section and a short curved section at the top are pivotally attached to the vehicle at the top. A power cylinder is provided at the lower end of the guide rails for pushing and retracting the lower end of the guide rails from the vehicle. A grabber is provided for engagement with the trash can to be emptied. The grabber is connected to lifting arms. The lifting arms comprise an upper lifting arm segment and a lower lifting arm segment. A power cylinder drives the lifting arms so that the lower ends of the lower lifting arms follow the guide rails to the curved section. The grabber and the grabbed container are moved by the lower ends of the lower lifting arms and, as the lower ends of the lifting arms follow the curved portion of the guide, the container is inverted over the opening in the top of the refuse collecting truck. A lower grip on the apparatus engages with the grabbed container to support the container in the inverted position. Reverse movement of the lifting arms lowers the trash container.
