After unloading, the tailgate is lowered and “latched” to the body.
Container Handling Systems
The main purpose of a refuse body is to load, compact,
transport and unload refuse. To assist in
loading refuse from containers, various container handling systems are available to be mounted on
Leach
TM
rear loaders.
A refuse container may be a mobile residential one (1) cubic yard container with casters or a ten (10)
cubic yard stationary commercial container. The equipment required to lift and empty these
containers will vary according to the container’s type and size.
The following are some handling systems that could be used:
A hydraulically operated container push bar for containers of
1 to 3
cubic yard capacity.
A drum winch or roof-mounted lifting cylinder for containers with capacities of four (4) or more
cubic yards.
Drum winches are rated at various pounds of pull. The 2R-III™ drum winch and lifting cylinder are
rated at 12,000
lbs.
