Abstract (en)

A device for loading and compacting solid urban waste into vehicles equipped for the collection and the transport of urban solid waste. The device comprises a casing (2) with a hopper (6) having a curved bottom to be coupled to the body (1) of the vehicle, a combination of connecting rods (14), an articulated plate-shovel unit (7,11,12) and pistons (13). The pistons are connected to arms (8) integral with the first plate (7) of the plate-shovel unit to control its rotation around a fixed hinging point (10) on the casing walls thereby causing an upward and downward movement of the plate-shovel unit. <IMAGE>
