Abstract
For picking up and depositing a hollow receptacle such as a bin, container or the like by/on a vehicle with a change gear mechanism having a tilting frame pivoted in the back on the undercarriage of the vehicle and movable by a tilting cylinder supported on the undercarriage, and furthermore having a coulisse displaceable on the tilting frame by associated actuating elements and equipped with a stop element capable of being engaged with the associated fitting on the receptacle, the coulisse, for depositing the receptacle, is first retracted until the rear end of the receptacle projects beyond the back of the vehicle by a predetermined measure. Subsequently, the tilting frame is utilized until the lower zone on the rear end of the receptacle rests on the surface of the roadway. Thereafter, the actuating elements of the coulisse are switched to idle run, and subsequently, with the brakes of the vehicle released, if need be, the tilting frame is tilted further until the receptacle is standing upright on its rear end and the stop element and the fitting can be disengaged. For picking up the receptacle, the above operation takes place in the reversed sequence.
