ABSTRACT:
A portable overhead bin comprising a plurality of adjacent frame members pivotally connected such that the frame members form a horizontal transport frame when in the lowered transport position, and further form an elevated overhead frame when the frame members are moved to a raised operating position. A bin is supported by the frame members. A hitch is attached at the front end of the transport frame for attachment to a towing vehicle and wheels are adapted to support the transport frame for movement by the towing vehicle. A transport vehicle may be positioned between two of the frame members and under the bin to receive the contents thereof through a bottom discharge. A force, either external to the invention or included therein, is applied to at least one frame member to raise the bin into the overhead operating position. A conveyor may be provided to convey material into the raised bin.
