Abstract (en)

A refuse collector/compactor is principally for use on refuse vehicles having a lifting and tipping mechanism at their rear end. Refuse containers (3) are lifted up and tipped into an upper opening to a chamber (12). At the lower end of the chamber is located a compacting mechanism (14) including a compactor blade (35) which is pivoted towards a receiving body (2) to transfer the refuse into the body and compact it. The blade (35) has at its outer edge an arcuate member (17) which occupies the lower end of the chamber during a compacting movement. When filled the body (2) is emptied by raising a tailgate carrying the mechanism (14) to open the rear of the body. <IMAGE>
