Abstract: A container handling system including a substantially stationary first frame structure and a movable second frame structure facilitating loading a container to and unloading the container from of a transport vehicle. The first frame structure is configured to be fixed coupled to a chassis of the transport vehicle. The second frame structure is axially movable relative to the first frame structure and includes a handling device disposed thereon configured to raise and lower the container. Further, the second frame structure is pivotable relative to the first frame structure to facilitate unloading or loading the container on an irregular surface such as the ground.
