Abstract: A hamper dumper having a base frame, a cradle pivotally attached to the base frame, and a chute assembly pivotally attached to the base frame. The cradle is designed to receive a hamper loaded with parcels that is to be unloaded. A first hydraulic motor has its one end pivotally secured to the base frame and its other end pivotally secured to the cradle for rotating the cradle from a loaded to an unloaded position. The chute assembly functions as a cover for the top of the hamper while it is travelling from an upright position to an inverted position. Thereafter a second hydraulic motor rotates the chute assembly an additional arcuate distance to allow for controlled discharge of the parcels within the hamper. Locking means in the cradle prevents the hamper from falling during its inverted period.
