  • Refuse collection device
    Patent number: 4227849
    Abstract: A refuse collection device includes a pair of side-mounted lift arms with a carriage for engaging a refuse container. The carriage is laterally extendable to reach out and engage the container. The lift arms swing upward to dump the refuse from the container into a hopper. An auger in the hopper bottom precompacts the refuse and displaces it into a refuse body behind the hopper. The operation of the lift device is reversed to return the container to its original position.
