Skip lorry with lateral loading - has hinged support frame each end of skip to lift and=or tip skip to either side

摘要

The lateral loading skip lorry has support frames (7) in front of and behind the skip, and with the skip on pendant support from the top of each frame. The frames are tipped to either side to drop the skip onto the ground beside the lorry. A single ram (4) operates each frame. The frames have an inverted T-shape with the upright extending to lift the skip off the lorry. The frames have selective hinges on either side of the lorry chassis while catches can secure the edges of the skip to enable the load to be tipped off the lorry on either side rather than dropping the skip.
