Front-loading refuse body with ejection wall

A front loading refuse compaction body comprising

• a storage compartment having a front end wall and an opposing open rear end,
• a compaction body mounted at the front end wall of the storage compartment and having a compaction blade therein,
• the compaction blade moveable from a first position to a second position to compact refuse in the compaction body,
• the front end wall having an opening therein,
• the compaction blade receivable within the opening when the compaction blade is in its second position,
• the compaction blade urging refuse into the storage compartment through the opening in the front end wall,
• an ejector assembly selectively slidable within the storage compartment from a first position immediately adjacent the front end wall of the storage compartment to a second position spaced apart from the first position,
• the ejector assembly comprising a vertical panel and a hydraulic ram mounted to the vertical panel,
• the panel having an aperture therethrough in registry with the opening in the front end wall,
• the hydraulic ram having an extendible rod,
• the rod fixed at a distal end thereof to the front end wall,
• whereby the vertical panel may be moved toward the open rear end by extension of the rod of the hydraulic ram.

An ejector for a rear unloading refuse collection body having a front end wall and an open rear end and a floor comprises

• a substantially vertical planar panel having a first position immediately adjacent the front end wall and a second position substantially spaced away from the first position thereof,
• the panel having a hydraulic cylinder mounted generally centrally thereto,
• the hydraulic cylinder having an extendible rod,
• the rod extendible at a substantial perpendicular to the panel,
• the rod having a distal end mounted to the front end wall of the refuse collection body,
• whereby extension and retraction of the rod urges the panel to move between its first position and its second position.
