Abstract
A loading assembly for a refuse collection vehicle wherein a pair of gripping arms can upend a refuse container into an intermediate container. A first set of gripper arms can be located on a first side of the intermediate container and a second set of gripper arms can be located on a second side of the intermediate container. The two sets allow refuse bins located on a curb side and street side to be serviced by the loading assembly. The intermediate container can then be emptied into a storage compartment of the vehicle.
