Abstract
A gondola tipping system for tipping a pivotally mounted container includes a frame having a substantially horizontal beam, a trolley translatable across the beam, a winch mounted on the beam, and a lower block connectable to the pivotal container, the lower block being reeved to the trolley and winch such that rotation of the winch and translation of the trolley causes the lower block to move both vertically and horizontally.
