ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for lifting a container of the standard type having connecting boxes at least at the lower ends of its vertical corners comprises at least four separate hydraulic lifting devices which are jointly connectible to a hydraulic pump. Each of the lifting devices includes a piston and cylinder releasably connectible to one of the four container corner end boxes to permit lifting of the container when the piston rod, serving as a supporting leg, is standing on the group. Each lifting device is connected to the container via an intermediate member of a connecting device which includes clamping mechanisms for releasably clamping the intermediate member to the lifting cylinder and to the lower container corner end box, and a lockable hinge mechanism permitting the intermediate member and thereby the lifting device to be pivoted through an angle of 180.degree. from an operative to a rest position and vice versa. The connecting device is disconnectible from the container so that the lifting device can be removed from the container and stowed in an appropriate space on the vehicle.
