ABSTRACT:
A vehicle-mounted container-handling device for loading onto a vehicle a container located on the ground, and for performing the reverse operation. The said device comprises two arms, respectively an upper and a lower arm, perpendicular one with respect to the other. The outer end of the upper arm comprises prehension or hooking means for attaching onto a container. The lower arm is pivotally connected to a vehicle at a point close to a plumb line drawn from the said container center of gravity when the container is in its final resting position on the said vehicle; the said lower arm comprises two members, an upper member and a lower member, pivotally connected to each other. The said upper member comprises an abutment for sustaining the said upper member. The aggregate formed by the said upper and lower arms is moveable in a vertical and longitudinal plane with respect to the vehicle, from the rear to the front and vice-versa under actuation by a jack whose front end is connected to said vehicle, and whose rear end is pivotally connected to the upper member of a lower arm. The device enables the loading and unloading of a container from a vehicle in such a manner that the said container is subjected to a small angled inclination, and this is obtained by a comparatively small force, without causing a nose-lifting of the vehicle. A single hydraulic jack may be utilized to perform the above-mentioned operations.
