Transport Concern Introduces Movingfloor Van with Apparatus for Lifting, Tipping and Lowering Large Bins
WELL-KNOWN as maker of the Transport slatted may log floor, and the Propeller archimedian-screw refuse collector, Transport Engineering Ltd., 561, Old Kent Road, London, S.E.1, has now added to its range of municipal motors a bin-type refuse collector, for flat, tenement and hotel work.
Whilst suitable also for ordinary refuse collection, the new machine, which has a capacious van body and a moving floor, is provided with lifting tackle at the rear by which the heavy bin is raised above the level of the tailboard and automatically emptied into the body.
Rectangular in shape, the bins have feet which raise them about 6 ins, above the ground. They are transported from their normal positions to the vehicle in the street on low trolleys equipped with easily operated elevating gear, the trolleys being run under the bins.
On the back of the tailboard is a carriage, running on substantially vertical guides. To this, the bin is attached by a quick-release device. Rollers on the carriage ensure easy running during hoisting.
There is a cable at each side from the top of the van. These are attached to the bin, which, is thus lifted by a winch driven by the engine. When the top of the tailboard is reached, the bin is automatically tipped and lowered to the ground again. All that the operative has to do is to stop or start the hoist. A bell is provided by which the man at the rear can communicate with the driver.
When it is desired to wash the bin after tipping, a highpressure jet is provided, the system including a tank, pump and filter, so that the water can be used repeatedly and' the sludge separated.
