A body 2 has a rear area 5 for storing refuse, and a front hopper section 4 for receiving refuse. The storage area 5 has a curved roof 13, a curved floor 12b and curved sidewalls 10. The hopper 4 has a top opening, a curved floor 12a and curved sidewalls 11. The curved sidewalls 11 of the hopper 4 have a smaller radius of curvature than the curved sidewalls 10 of the storage area 5. The curved sidewalls 11 of the hopper 4 also are not symmetrical about a horizontal axis. In this way, the sidewalls 11 of the hopper 4 do not interfere with the operation of the loading arms 3 and do not unnecessarily restrict the opening at the top of the hopper 4. The curved roof 13, curved floor 12a and 12b and curved sidewalls 10 and 11 are made from an aluminum alloy making the front loading refuse collection apparatus lightweight. |
