Abstract
In a refuse compaction and ejection system for location adjacent to a wall, truck cab, or other body which would restrict vertical angular movement due to lack of free space therebetween, a body slide-lift mechanism for shifting the refuse storage compartment rearward in combination with vertical movement to adjust the level of refuse ejection to a desired height. The refuse storage compartment containing the appropriate compaction and ejection components is rotatably affixed at its forward end to a support base by means of a slotted flange-pin assembly. A support-base-mounted hydraulic cylinder oriented along the length of and attached to the floor of the storage compartment provides the power to reciprocate the compartment from its horizontal, adjacent location to its extended, elevated ejection level.
