ABSTRACT:
Trash can dumping apparatus includes a pair of side-by-side clamping and lifting assemblies pivotally mounted adjacent the refuse sink of a garbage truck. A clamping member is movably mounted to the frame of each clamping and lifting assembly for capturing the lip of a trash receptacle between the clamping member and a clamping surface on the frame. To engage trash containers, which have upper and lower lifting bars, lower hooks are mounted to the frame while upper hooks are mounted to the movable clamping member. The hooks are either removed or retracted when not used. Cradle assemblies are mounted to the pivotal frame adjacent the sides of the truck. The laterally extending studs of a trash bin are captured within the slots in the cradle assemblies. To lift the trash bin, both clamping and lifting assemblies are actuated in unison. Because of the low profile nature of the dumping apparatus, workers can get next to the refuse sink opening to manually dump trash.
