ABSTRACT:
A container lifter (2), suited for lifting and moving 5-gallon water bottles (4) by the neck (6), includes a U-shaped collar (14) with proximal and distal portions (16, 18), a side brace (28) extending from the distal portion of the collar and a handle (34) extending from the proximal portion of the collar. A horizontally-oriented container can be removed from a delivery truck and placed in a generally vertical orientation. To do so, the collar is slid sideways onto the neck of the bottle, the handle is pulled horizontally so the collar engages the neck ring, and the bottle is pulled from the truck. Once free from the truck, the bottle swings down to a generally, but not completely, vertical orientation at which the proximal portion of the collar and the side brace engage the neck. The container lifter can also be used to lift and move generally vertically-oriented bottles with the proximal portion of the collar and the side brace engaging the neck.
