<p>The invention concerns a refuse-collection vehicle on which a replaceable container (5) is detachably mounted by suitable means so that it can be moved out to the rear. The actual discharge mechanism consists of two pillars (7), each containing a vertically moving motor-driven carriage on which a lifting and tipping device is mounted. Mounted on each side of the vehicle chassis is a first hinge (41) to which an essentially horizontal arm is attached so that it can pivot, the other end of the arm carrying another hinge (44) to which the pillar (7) is attached so that it can pivot. This design allows the pillars to pivot to an extent such that the rear end of the vehicle is freed to permit the exchange of the container (5), without the need to remove any parts of the vehicle, or to permit the vehicle to dock with a rubbish-discharge bunker if required for the type of container (5) used. Dustbins and refuse containers are loaded on to the vehicle and tipped up automatically by means fitted to the lifting and tipping device, these operations being controlled by a processor fitted inside the vehicle.</p> |
