Abstract
A support and leveling system for use in a refuse compactor or similar appliance providing facilitated adjustment when the compactor is being installed in a normal under-counter installation. The support and leveling mechanism permits the compactor to be slid easily into position and permits further adjustment of the front leveling mechanism without requiring removal of the compactor from the under-counter installation. The support and leveling mechanism acts directly against the structural frame of the compactor so as to transmit the compactor load directly downwardly through the leveling element thereof. A friction means may be mounted to the mechanism to provide a non-slip support when desired. The mechanism may include adjustable rear rollers for further adjusting the elevation of the rear portion of the compactor in the installed disposition.
