2067154 9105721 PCTABS00005 A lifting apparatus (10) to be attached to the side of a garbage collection truck. The apparatus comprises a series of linkages (12, 14, 15, 17, 18) mounted to a mounting member (11) attached to the vehicle. A plurality of suction cups (20) is provided on a garbage bin securing member (18). A vacuum supply to the suction cups is actuated by means of a trip switch (26) mounted adjacent to the suction cups. The trip switch (26) is activated as it abuts the side of a garbage bin. The vacuum supply is disconnected as the bin securing member (18) returns past a predetermined position. In a preferred embodiment, the securing member (18) is mounted on lateral shift rails (27) to allow for positional adjustment of the bin securing member (18) relative to the bin. The apparatus is adapted to raise a garbage bin from a position generally adjacent the truck to a raised and inverted position adjacent to an entry shute of a garbage compactor of the garbage truck.
