- a vehicle (2) movable on wheels and having a bearing frame (3) which has a front
portion (3a), turned towards the side of advancement direction of the vehicle itself
along its running direction, two lateral portions (3b), next to said front portion
(3a), and a rear portion (3c) opposed to the front portion itself;
- at least a container (4) for the collection of material which can be positioned
on the frame (3);
- sliding means (5) of the container (4) with respect to the frame (3) on the side
of at least one of the lateral portions (3b), where the sliding means (5) are able
to displace the container (4) itself to a load/discharge position arranged outside
of the lateral space defined by the frame (3) and comprise at least two guide elements
(7a, 7b) associated with the frame (3) at said front portion (3a) and said rear portion
(3c), respectively and which extend at least along a sliding direction (8) and at
least two gripping elements (9) able to engage with the container (4) and associated
in a sliding manner with a respective guide element (7a, 7b);
- actuator means (6) which can be operated to support independently the
container itself in said load/discharge position;
where each of said guide elements (7a, 7b) comprises a respective fixed first section
(7a), which extends along the sliding direction (8), and a pair of second sections
(7b) associated with the first section (7a) on opposite sides of the same and movable
in rotation between a rest position and a work position, the second sections (7b)
of each of the guide elements (7a, 7b) being able to allow the displacement of the
gripping elements (9) along both ways of the sliding direction (8).
