Abstract
A cargo container handling assembly mounted on the lift beam of a mobile vehicle to transport and stack a cargo container. A bridge secured to the lift means accommodates a pair of vertically movable supports. Struts carried by the supports have balls on their upper and lower ends for movably supporting a carrier adapted to be locked onto a cargo container. Fluid operated cylinders are selectively operable to provide the carrier with tilt, skew, lateral shift, and fore and aft movements. Fluid motors are operable to selectively raise and lower the supports to change the elevation of the spreader independent of the lift beam and provide the carrier with pile slope movements.
