Pick-up device for a refuse collecting vehicle

Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a pick-up device for refuse collecting vehicles (1), having a carriage (4) which is displacable on a guide rail (3), the guide rail being capable of being swung by means of pivotable arms (2, 2'), and having a gripping apparatus articulated on the carriage. In order to achieve the object of further developing this pick-up device in such a manner that it can receive refuse containers on both sides of the refuse collecting vehicle, the pick-up device being comparatively simple and robust in structure, the carriage is mounted to be displaceable in both directions on the guide rail and the gripping device is mounted to be capable of being swung out on both sides via pivot arms (7, 10, 11). <IMAGE>
