ABSTRACT:
A device for rotating a container to and from an upright position and an inverted position is disclosed. The invention comprises a pair of fork members spaced sufficiently apart to receive a container therebetween. One of the fork members includes a rotatable plate which mates with a corresponding plate affixed to the side of the container. The plates engage one another when the container is lifted by the fork member and, upon rotation of the fork member plate, the container is inverted to empty the contents of the same.
