Abstract (en)

The equipment (1) comprises a lifting arm (9) having an upper end portion (9a) rotatably engaged to a support structure (6) about a horizontal overturning axis (X1), between a lowered position and an emptying position wherein it extends in an upward inclined direction. The lifting arm (9) provides at the bottom a base coupling (15) configured to engage a lower edge (22) of a bin (3). The upper end portion (9a) provides an upper coupling (23) for the engagement of a coupling eyelet (25) provided at the top of the bin (3). To prevent accidental falling of the bin (3) to the benefit of safety, upper locking devices (38) lock the upper coupling (23) during tipping, while lower locking devices (50) comprising a harpoon (52) cooperating with a matching seat (51) lock the base coupling (15) to the lifting arm (9).
