ABSTRACT:
A method for loading on a vehicle provided with a pivotable handling arm or for unloading from the vehicle, a storage apparatus, such as a silo or tank, which may be inclined between an operative position in which a reference plane of the apparatus is roughly vertical and in which the apparatus may have its own stability on the ground, and a transport position in which the apparatus rests on the vehicle. The apparatus includes front support means which bear on the ground in said operative position and which are withdrawn for loading the apparatus, so that the apparatus is then, under the effect of the force of gravity, able to bear on the end of the handling arm and is free to be inclined toward the vehicle under the action of the handling arm, while retaining, for an angle of inclination to the vertical of said reference plane less than a limit value .alpha., a supporting contact with the ground fixed support means. The apparatus is, for an angle of inclination exceeding .alpha., either raised from the ground in a position in which the lower part of the apparatus is supported on the rear part of the vehicle or completely supported on the top of the vehicle in the loaded and transport position.
