Device for picking up and dumping or washing garbage containers on trucks

Abstract

This device comprises two U-shaped holders being arranged in an inverted-U arrangement, having their respective rear ends linked in a pin-jointed connection to the truck and having fitted to their front ends a mechanism being provided with supports by means of which the containers are grabbed in order to be lifted and tipped. This device is characterised in that the supports form an assembly being at its lateral, rear region linked in a pin-jointed connection to said mechanism by means of an obliquely diverging appendage. This appendage is linked in a pin-jointed connection to the end of an arm having its other end linked in a pin-jointed connection to a slide being apt to be slid along a guide being provided between the front ends of the U-shaped holders being arranged in an inverted-U arrangement. The arm is a telescopic arm.
