Apparatus attachable to the front end of a vehicle having a lifting apparatus for moving a load vertically, in which a pair of arms are each pivotably mounted on a main carrier which is rotatable about a horizontal transverse axis, for holding a cargo container chassis by engaging its longitudinal frame members, to raise and carry the chassis and to overturn it to an inverted position by rotation of the main carrier about the horizontal transverse axis, which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the chassis. The attachment is used to stack or unstack cargo container chassis to reduce the amount of container yard space necessary for parking chassis not in use. The load-carrying arms include fixed and movable jaws to help hold the chassis. Only one load-carrying arm can move at a time, and only when the main carrier is in a safe position. The attachment is hydraulicly driven and may include its own engine or receive pressurized fluid from the vehicle on which it is mounted.
