<p>A lorry (11) is provided with a container (24) associated with compaction apparatus. The compaction apparatus comprises a compaction member (26) and two cables (28, 29), one attached to either side of the compaction member (26). The cables (28, 29) are releasably attachable to lifting arms (14) and pass around pullies (30, 32), which pullies are located at either end of the container (24). The compaction apparatus is used as follows: in order to pick up a skip the lifting arms (14) must be moved rearwardly, in the direction shown by arrow (F); before the rearward movement of the arms (14) is started the cable (28) is attached to the top of the lifting arms (14), when the lifting arms (14) are then moved rearwardly the cable (28), which passes around the pulley (30), pulls the compaction member (26) forward as shown by arrow (G); the forward movement of the compaction member (26) will compact any waste in the container (24) towards the front of the container.</p> |
