An apparatus and method for loading and offloading storage containers such as dumpsters onto and from a bed of a transport truck utilizes a mast mounted in upstanding disposition relative to the bed of the truck, and a container lifting and placement assembly configured for grasping engagement with the storage container. The lifting and placement assembly is supported on the mast for selective movement upwardly and downwardly along the mast axis and for selective movement rotationally about the mast axis between a loading position facing away from the bed and a storage position disposed over the bed to facilitate selective positioning and movement of the assembly relative to the mast and the bed for grasping, lifting, moving, lowering and placing a storage container between a ground surface adjacent the truck and the truck bed.
