ABSTRACT:
A container haulage and dumping attachment for lift trucks includes a rotatable container gripping frame having a plurality of upper and lower tynes which are hydraulically activated to grip an open top container across the top and bottom thereof. The rotatable frame is pivotally mounted between the side walls of a lift frame, which in turn includes a rear wall by which the lift frame and rotatable frame are engaged and lifted by a lift truck. Upon lifting and movement to a dumping area the rotatable frame is activated to rotate forwardly about an axis parallel to the rear wall of the lift frame and transverse to the longitudinal direction of movement of the lift truck, whereby containers may be engaged across the top and bottom, lifted, moved, and tilted forwardly at least 90.degree. to empty the contents from the containers.
