<p>The base of a bin (1) has two guides for the forks (9) of a fork lift truck. Each guide has a forward channel member (5) attached to the bin (1) and a rear tubular or partially closed member (6) pivotally connected to the channel member (5) by means of a pivot (8) which is aligned with the pivot (8) of the other guide (5 and 6). When the forks (9) are inserted into the guides, the forward and rear members (5 and 6) are held in alignment. To allow the bin (2) to tip, the bin (1) is rested and the forks (9) are partially withdrawn from the guides (5 and 6) so that they extend through the rear members (6), but are clear of the forward members (5). Then, on further lifting of the forks (9), the guides hinge about the pivots (8).</p> |
