Abstract: A refuse collecting truck combines the attributes of a rear loading, compacting refuse collecting system with a plurality of specialty containers which can be used to collect, compact and eject curbside separated recyclable materials of a plurality of types. The plurality of separate recyclable containers are designed to be mounted ahead of the rear loading, compacting refuse container behind the cab. The number and volume length of such containers may be varied as desired. The containers are configured with a side entry port and are accessed and operated from the side both for loading and unloading. Complete compacting and ejecting mechanisms are provided.

Abstract: A double-story parking apparatus includes a fixed elevated platform mounted on a plurality of supporting columns standing on a ground floor, and a telescopic access pivotally secured to the elevated platform operatively lowered and extended to form a sloping path adapted for driving a car upwardly onto the elevated platform for parking a first car on the elevated platform. The telescopic access may then be retracted and raised to form a horizontal plane coplanar to the elevated platform to level the parked first car and a second car can be directly parked on the floor whereon the supporting columns stand.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle lifting and towing device and particularly to an improved low profile lifting and towing device capable of efficient placement of the lower lifting boom while providing added ballast against the tipping moment of the towing vehicle, as well as a column configuration permitting the upper boom to be generally horizontal providing improved driver vision from the cab of the towing vehicle.
