ABSTRACT:
The apparatus to be described comprises a trolley and track disposed crosswise of the carrying vehicle positioned between its front and rear wheels and elevated above the vehicle frame. At an end of the trolley track a cradle is affixed so as to tilt about a horizontal axis normal to the track. The trolley is provided with lifting hooks adapted to engage the trunnions of a slag pot resting on the ground and lift it above the vehicle frame. The cradle is provided with upstanding hooks which receive the slag pot trunnions when the pot is moved by the trolley into the cradle. Means are provided to tilt the cradle. The cradle frame is open toward the trolley so that the cradle partially encloses the slag pot during the dumping operation. The vehicle frame is of the fork or wishbone type open at the rear so that the vehicle can be backed to enclose a slag pot resting on the ground.
