Abstract
Apparatus for changing a filled container at an ejection opening of a refuse press for an empty container comprises two wheeled carriages which are mounted on rails and are movable by hydraulic rams, one to and fro transversely from side to side of the ejection opening and the other longitudinally towards and away from the ejection opening. Each of the carriages has container supports and the transverse carriage is in two parts one on each side of the longitudinal carriage and these two parts are rigidly interconnected by a bridge beam spanning the longitudinal carriage. The carriages are movable so that as the transverse carriage is moved in one direction, one part picks up an empty container from a stationary storage support and transfers it on to the longitudinal carriage and at the same time the other part of the transverse carriage picks up a filled container from the longitudinal carriage and transfers it to a second stationary storage support. The longitudinal carriage then moves to move the empty container into position for filling against the ejection opening of the press.
