ABSTRACT:
A pick-up apparatus and a container are specially designed to facilitate the lifting of the container and the dumping of its contents. The container includes a frame which has tubular frame members extending between the top and bottom of the container, and a cover is hingedly mounted on the top of the container and can be releasably latched in a closed position by an inertia latch. The pick-up apparatus includes a boom, a pick-up arm mounted on the boom for articulation in a generally horizontal plane, and a pair of clamping arms mounted on the end of the pick-up arm. The clamping arms are slidably mounted on the pick-up arm, and the spacing between the arms can be varied by hydraulic cyinders on the pick-up arm. Each of the clamping arms includes a clamping pad which includes a plurality of flexible, resilient cone-shaped projections which are sized and spaced so that the tubular frame members of the container can be received between the ends of adjacent projections.
