ABSTRACT:
The system for handling a container comprises a vehicle on which the container may bear in the transporting position and which comprises at least one jack for raising or lowering the container by pivoting it about an axis of pivotal connection between the container and the vehicle, and a fixed installation for receiving the container in the position of use, which comprises a device for locking the vehicle, after the vehicle has moved rearwardly. The position of use of the container is an inclined position in which the lower end part of the container is set in position in a frame of the fixed installation. The axis of the pivotal connection between the container and the vehicle is embodied by two articulations, each of which articulations comprises a male element having a surface of revolution about a horizontal axis and connected to the container and a female element connected to the vehicle and comprising a conjugate surface of revolution to which surface of revolution there are connected divergent surfaces. The frame of the fixed installation comprises two fixed cradles disposed symmetrically with respect to a median longitudinal plane. Each of the cradles comprises two longitudinally spaced spaced bearing surfaces which are conjugate to faces of the corresponding container corner.
