ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a lifting apparatus, especially a barrel tilter, which is preferably raisable and movable by means of a low lift truck (4). To eliminate the need for power units in each of the lifting apparatuses, the lifting apparatus (1, 37, 45, 50) comprises a base member (2) onto which a low lift truck (4), preferably a lift truck by means of which the lifting apparatus is raisable and movable, can be driven to weight the base member (2) from above, and a lifting unit (3) movably connected to the base member (2) is so arranged in relation to the base member (2) that the parts of the truck (4) which are to perform lifting are positioned beneath the lifting unit (3) when the truck (4) has been driven onto the base member (2), whereby the lifting unit (3) can be operated by the parts of the truck (4) adapted to perform lifting to impart lifting movements to the lifting unit (3) while the base member (2) is weighted by the truck (4).
