Abstract: A device for securing a refuse container to a tilt frame of a refuse hauling truck. The device comprising a latch assembly including at least two latch bars, pivotally mounted on the tilt frame for releasably engaging the container. The latch bars being pivotable between a container engaging position and a disengaged position. An actuator switch is used to activate an associated pneumatic system which pivots the latching bars to engage the container and prevent further movement of the container.

Abstract: A refuse-hauling vehicle has a dumping bed for inclining containers carried on the bed. The bed pivots on a lateral axis forward of the rear end of the bed, the rear end of the bed moving downward as the forward end of the bed moves upward. A cylindrical roller is removably mounted to and between frame rails near the rear end of the bed, the roller being free to rotate on a lateral axis. The roller is installed by inserting a shaft in each end of the roller, the shafts being connected to mounting plates. Each plate is then attached to a bracket mounted on the frame rails. When installed, a lower portion of the outer surface of the roller is positioned to be the lowest point on the bed when the bed is in an inclined, or dumping, position. The roller contacts a support surface, preventing damage to the bed.

Abstract: A double container trailer is shown having a main trailer frame including a front trailer frame and a rear trailer frame, both of which define a top support surface. The rear trailer frame has a tilt frame pivotally mounted thereon for supporting a first load bearing container. A pivot mechanism is connected between the rear trailer frame and the tilt frame for pivoting the tilt frame and its associated container about a pivot point located on the rear trailer frame. A primary cable drive located on the rear trailer frame engages a first load bearing container for transporting the first container onto the top support surface of the main trailer frame to an initial transport position. A secondary cable drive engages the first load bearing container and moves the container to a final transport position forward of the initial transport position.
