A COMBINATION COMPACTING AND LIFTING APPARATUS

摘要

A combination material compacting and moving apparatus comprising a compactor and a cart. The compactor having a ram reciprocatingly mounted therein for compacting material onto the cart. The cart includes a lifting and dumping mechanism so the compacted materials may be transported, lifted and dumped at a remote location without the operator coming in contact with the compacted material or its container. The compactor and the cart include numerous liquid control elements including: a compactor housing having an upper reception chamber and a lower storage chamber wherein the reception chamber has protruding walls with a drip edge so that any liquid splashed on the reception chamber walls will drip into the material container; a return member which extends from the protruding walls to the storage walls at an angle so any liquid which may be splashed on the return member will be pulled gravitationally away from the storage chamber walls and drip into the container; a bag holder on the cart to support and direct a container into position so material can be compacted therein, wherein the bag holder is guided up against the return member, preventing liquid from escaping the container.
