Abstract

A vehicle for beach cleaning has a vehicle frame with at least one wheel axis disposed on it. Garbage is picked up from the beach by a vertically adjustable garbage pickup and delivered to a conveyor adjoining the garbage pickup and conveying the garbage taken to a collecting receptacle disposed at the rear end of the vehicle frame. A supply rotor is allocated to the pickup area of the garbage pickup. In order to improve the supply, the pickup and the transport of refuse and the separation of refuse and sand and the disposal of the pollutants, a swivel frame supporting the garbage pickup and the supply rotor is lowerably mounted on the vehicle frame for vertical adjustment, the supply rotor being mounted on the swivel frame pivotably across a swivel range comprising different operating conditions by means of links and being in particular counter-clockwise rotatable about an axis of rotation mounted on the links.
