ABSTRACT:
A dump bin having a housing including a floor and a plurality of upstanding sides, a sleeve vertically mounted on one of the sides, a slidable rod in the sleeve, a pair of aligned shafts extending outwardly from opposite sides for receiving bearings mounted on the forks of a fork lift, the slidable rod being movable by gravity from a retracted position to an extended position below the dump bin after it has been lifted by a fork lift, with the lower portion of the rod causing the dump bin to pivot about the axis of the shafts as the fork lift is moved toward the container after the slidable rod has been moved into abutting relationship with the container. The dump bin is so balanced so that after it is moved away from the container and the slidable rod loses contact with the container, the dump bin will pivot to the attitude which it normally occupies when it is being loaded, and when the dump bin is moved downwardly to rest on the ground, the slidable rod will automatically retract into the sleeve in which it is mounted.
