ABSTRACT:
A tilt apparatus for tilting a container from a first position, preferably horizontal, to a position skewed to the first position, the tilt apparatus comprising a stationary frame having two sides and disposed proximate the first position, the stationary frame having detent means disposed therewith, a movable frame moveable from the first position being substantially parallel in extension to the stationary frame to a position skewed to the first position and the stationary frame, the movable frame being moveably affixed proximate one side of the stationary frame, the movable frame having locking means and release means disposed therewith, the locking means being actuated by gravity to cooperatively lock with respect to the detent means of the stationary frame when the moveable frame is tilted to allow the locking means to so actuate thus locking a container in a tilted position, the release means being actuated by a remote device, such as a fork of a fork truck, to disengage the locking means of the moveable frame from the detent of the stationary frame whereby the moveable frame is repositioned from a position skewed to the first position and the stationary frame to a position substantially parallel in extension to the first position and the stationary frame.
