The invention relates to a refuse-handling vehicle (10) in the form of a truck. The vehicle (10) includes a wheeled chassis (14) and a pair of lifting arms (20) pivotally connected to opposed sides of the chassis (14) for loading a bucket onto or offloading a bucket from the chassis. Each lifting arm (20) includes a first arm member (26) pivotally connected at one end (30) to a central region (22) of the chassis (14) spaced from the front and rear ends of the chassis, and a second arm member (28) pivotally connected to the other end (32) of the first arm member. A cylinder (38) and ram (42) is provided for pivoting each first arm member (26) relative to the chassis (14), and a cylinder (46) and ram (48) is provided for pivoting each second arm member (28) relative to its corresponding first arm member (26). The chassis (14) of the vehicle (10) is specifically designed to carry two buckets (16 and 18) one in front of the other, and the lifting arms (20) are sized to load or offload each of the buckets independently of one another. |
