  • said motor means comprises an hydraulic ram pivotally connected at one end thereof to said at least one lever at a pivot intermediate the pivotal connections of said at least one lever to the at least one second member and the at least one fourth member, and further comprising a subframe on which the at least one first member is pivotally mounted, the other end of the hydraulic ram being pivotally connected to the subframe.
  • the at least one fifth member is formed by at least one lever pivotally connected both to the at least one second member and to the at least one fourth member and further comprising at least one pair of further levers rigidly interconnected with each other and pivotally connected to the at least one second member, a first lever of each pair of said further levers being controllably engageable with the at least one fifth member to preventing pivoting of the at least one fifth member relative to the at least one second member, and further comprising a subframe on which the at least one first member is pivotally mounted, the other lever of each pair of said further levers being engageable with the subframe, upon pivoting of the at least one second member, for disengaging the first lever of each pair of levers from the at least one fifth member, whereby relative pivoting of the second and third members is prevented by engagement of the at least one fifth member by the first lever of each pair of said further levers, while moving the container on and off the vehicle.
  • said upright portion comprises first hook means at least near the upper end thereof for attachment to the container and also comprises selectively operable second hook means below said first hook means for attachment'to the container for preventing relative movement between the container and said at least one third member.
  • a vehicle as claimed in claim 2 wherein said at least one fifth member is slidably engaged in guide means of said at least one second member and further comprising means for controllable locking of said at least one fifth member in either of two extreme positions in said guide means, to prevent relative pivoting between said second and third members.
  • a vehicle as claimed in claim 11 wherein said up right portion comprises first hook means at least near the upper end thereof for attachment to the container and also comprises selectively operable second hook means below said firsthook means for attachment to the container for preventing relative movement between the container and said at least one third member.
  • said upright portion comprises first hook means at least near the upper end thereof for attachment to the container and also comprises selectively operable second hook means below said first hook means for attachment to the container for preventing relative movement between the container and said at least one third member.
