Abstract
A lorry fitted with a known system which allows it to handle a container in order to load it, to unload it onto the ground, or to tilt it towards the rear to accomplish a tipping operation. A platform of a detachable cradle has a jack which operates a tipping chassis. A longitudinal pivot shaft of the tipping chassis is mounted at the side of the cradle, which permits lateral tipping of the container. Another jack, and the alternative fitting of one or the other of two longitudinal pivot shafts, permits selective tipping to the right or left side of the lorry as desired.
