<p>A device (3) for tipping a container (1), comprises a rigid support structure (4), a pair of arms (16) pivotally attached at inner ends (15) thereof to the support structure (4) on a common pivot axis (14), the arms (16) being located in a common radial plane and being spaced from one another so as to be capable, in use, of embracing a container (1), drive means (20), operable to cause the arm (16) to pivot with respect to the support structure (4), and latching means (29) carried by the device (3) and adapted, in use, to engage a container (1) to prevent angular movement of the container (1) with respect to the arms (16) during pivotal movement of the latter to a tipped position wherein the container (1) may discharge its load. The arms (16) may comprise an inner arm part and an outer arm part with an interconnecting ram. Alternatively, the arms (16) may be cranked. A trailer and self-propelled vehicle provided with such a device are also disclosed.</p> |
