<p>A lifter including a motor (54) which is secured to a base, the motor having a shaft rotatable about a first axis. At least one lift arm (64) is secured to the rotatable shaft, with at least one actuator arm (66) pivotally mounted to the base for rotation about a second axis displaced from the axis of the rotatable shaft. A carriage is provided that has two hooks (74, 82) for selectively engaging the spaced-apart bars (52) that are on the container (42) that is to be lifted, the hooks being selectively engageable with the bars so as to secure the container to the carriage during the dumping action. The hooks are connected to each other by a telescoping member (76, 78), one end of which is rigidly connected to the lift arm and the other end pivotally connected to the actuator arm.</p> |
