Abstract (en)

A carriage (20) is slidable between a lowered position and a raised position along a guiding structure (11) to be mounted superiorly to a vehicle and rotatably in a vertical plane. A hydraulic cylinder (13) moves the guiding structure nearer to and farther from a side of the vehicle. Mounted on the carriage (20) are arms (23) for gripping and tilting a bin, and a hydraulic cylinder (24) for controlling the gripping and tilting movements of the arms (23). The guiding structure comprises a first guiding frame (11) mounted superiorly to the vehicle and rotatably in a vertical plane, and a second guiding frame (16) slidably mounted along the first frame between a lowered position and a raised position. The second frame forms guides (22) for sliding the carriage (20) along the second frame (16) between a raised position and a lowered position. The movement of the carriage along the second frame (16) and of this along the first frame is controlled by one or more hydraulic cylinders (25). <IMAGE>
