Refuse collection device

A refuse collection device mountable to a refuse collection vehicle to collect and tip bins to empty their contents into a waste container associated with the vehicle, the vehicle having a first chassis rail and a second chassis rail, the device including:

• a base;
• a rotating member rotatably connected to the base about a first rotational axis that, when in use, is substantially vertical;
• an extension member that is supported by the rotating member and configured to extend relative to the rotating member in a direction generally perpendicular to the first rotational axis;
• a lifting member rotatably connected to the extension member for rotation about a second rotational axis generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the extension member such that, when in use, the second rotational axis is arranged substantially horizontally;
• and
• a bin-grabbing member configured to collect a bin, the bin grabbing member being rotatably connected to the lifting member and configured to rotate relative to the lifting member about a third rotational axis, the bin-grabbing member including a grab support member having a first support part pivotally connected to the lifting member about the third rotational axis,
• the device configured to mount to the vehicle to locate the first rotational axis of the rotating member between the first chassis rail and the second chassis rail,
• wherein the lifting member is further configured to rotate relative to the extension member from a generally downwardly extending position to a generally upwardly extending position about the second rotational axis, and wherein when the lifting member moves towards its generally upwardly extending position, the first support part is allowed to rotate about the third rotational axis relative to the lifting member to thereby assist in inverting a bin collected by the bin-grabbing member.
