Abstract
A portable roller compactor for compacting waste located in a container, which is open on the top, has a frame-like basic structure and an articulated arm, one end of which is supported by the basic structure, and the other, free end of which supports a roller compactor that essentially can be rotated about a horizontal axis of rotation. The articulated arm of the roller compactor is pivotably attached to a sliding carriage, which is mounted on the frame-like base structure and can be moved in a longitudinal direction.
Claims9
A transportable roller compactor for compacting waste located in an open-top container, comprising:
- a base structure comprising a plurality of beams, wherein the transportable roller compactor is configured to mount on a truck or a trailer of a truck in a transport direction, wherein the base structure has front and rear ends, wherein the front end of the base structure is closer to a front end of the truck or trailer than the rear end of the base structure;
- an articulated arm is supported at one end by the base structure and carries at its other, free end a compactor roller rotatable about a horizontal axis of rotation;
- and
- a carriage that is mounted so as to be displaceable on the base structure in a longitudinal direction, wherein the articulated arm is pivotably mounted on the carriage, wherein a length of the carriage in the transport direction is less than a length of the base structure in the transport direction so that the carriage is displaceable between the front and rear ends of the base structure,
- wherein, in a rest position of the articulated arm, the carriage is disposed at the front end of the base structure, and
- wherein, in a working position of the articulated arm, the carriage is disposed at a rear end of the base structure.
