A container handling apparatus (30) includes longitudinally extending primary frames (36, 38) and a cross frame (34) which interconnects the front ends of the primary frames. Lift masts (72, 74, 76 78) are mounted on the primary frame (36, 38) and extend upwardly therefrom. A load beam (80) is supported from the lift masts (72, 74, 76 78) and includes latching mechanisms (96) adapted for connection to a container. Secondary frames (50) are pivotally supported on the primary frames (36, 38) are in turn rotatably support driven wheel members (52). The pivotal relationship between the secondary frames (50) and the primary frames (36, 38) is regulated and controlled by spring/shock absorber/cylinder assemblies (54). The cross frame (34) is selectively retractable and the load beam (80) is selectively foldable to reduce the width of the apparatus.
