Abstract: This invention relates generally to automated dumping or emptying of filled containers and specifically to the dumping of harvested fruit contained within a gondola with the apparatus of this invention automating the emptying of a fruit filled gondola into a truck or other receiving container or structure. The invention is the movement of the gondola from an upright position to a position displaced from the vertical which is away from the apparatus of the invention and toward a container into which the gondola contents are to be dumped. A lifting and tipping support frame pivotally receives the gondola. The lifting and tipping support frame is composed in part by lifting arms which are interconnected with stabilizing arms of differing lengths with the upper or top stabilizing arm longer than the lower or bottom stabilizing arm. A stationary post is welded to a container dumping frame. The top and bottom stabilizing arms are pivotally affixed by journals at the lifting arm and at the stationary post.
