FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to hoisting-overturning device of refuse hauler. The device consists of rotary boom (2) mounted on a frame of the refuse hauler and of gripper attached to the boom by means of axle (3) and rotated with hydro-cylinder (4). The gripper consists of a base made in form of a case and a lengthwise beam, and of fixed and mobile jaws coupled with the gripper; also the latter is attached to a rod of the hydro-cylinder secured on the case. The mobile jaw is made in form of an L-shape hold-down tool consisting of rigidly interconnected a pole and a grab; the grab travels in vertical plane to ensure support for the bottom of the container on the grab under action of the said hydro-cylinder mounted on the axle of the L-shaped hold-down tool. Installed on the lengthwise beam the rod of the hydro-cylinder is tied with the axle of the L-shaped hold-down tool.

EFFECT: increased reliability of gripper due to reduced loads on it and reduced pressure on walls of container.
