ABSTRACT:
A pick-up assembly is provided for attachment to a hydraulically operated lift device for picking up and dumping containers. The pick-up assembly includes three arms which are provided with container-engaging hooks for engaging the container at three positions around the periphery thereof. At least one of the hooks is movably mounted to permit the hook to be moved into position to engage the container when the lift device is to be raised. The arms are supported by a first shaft which is rotatably connected to a second shaft, and the second shaft is pivotally connected to the lift device for pivoting movement about a horizontal axis to permit the arms to swing in a generally horizontal plane when the first and second shafts extend generally vertically. A bell crank is pivotally mounted on the lift device and is engageable with one of the shafts for pivoting the pick-up assembly about the horizontal pivot connection between the second shaft and the lift device to thereby dump the contents of the container.
