ABSTRACT:
A vehicle-mounted container handling device which is capable of mounting and dismounting containers from the vehicle, and tilting a container mounted on the vehicle for dumping purposes. A tipping chassis pivotally mounted to the rear of the vehicle frame supports a transverse coupling shaft, upon which an articulated gantry is pivotally mounted. The gantry has an upper arm with a prehension device at its free end for grasping a container, and a lower arm comprising upper and lower booms hinged together. The upper boom is arranged to rest on and be supported by the lower boom, and a hydraulic jack extends between the rear of the vehicle frame and the upper boom to provide bi-directional movement of the gantry.
