Abstract (en)

A truck-associated device for gripping and automatically lifting a refuse collection bin (18), of the type comprising lifting means (2) to which bin gripper arms (1) are connected. The lifting means (2) comprise at least one elongate support structure (8) hinged at its upper end (9) to supports (10) rigidly fixed to the frame of the truck body (11), and connected to the gripper arms (1) at its lower end (7), which is substantially parallel to its upper end, said arms being able to rotate relative to the central structure, the movement of approach and withdrawal (Figure 3) of the device to and from the bin (18) being achieved by the combination of only two rotary movements, namely a rotary movement of said structure (8) relative to the truck body (11) and a rotary movement of the arms (1) relative to the structure. <IMAGE>
