Abstract: A container handling system is adapted to move, deploy, and retrieve containers used to manage waste or other materials. The container handling system includes a vehicle and a hoist unit coupled to the vehicle to move therewith and relative to the vehicle. The hoist unit includes a hoist frame and a hoist-frame mover coupled to both the vehicle and the hoist frame to cause the hoist frame to move between a transport position in which the hoist frame is generally horizontal and a use position in which the hoist frame is arranged at an angle relative to the horizontal to facilitate deployment and retrieval of containers.

Abstract: A vehicle mounted hoist includes a vehicle having a main frame with a rear, an apron assembly connected to the rear of the main frame, a hoist frame pivotally connected at a hoist hinge to the apron assembly, and drive means for pivoting the hoist frame between a rest position and an inclined, loading position; and, a stabilizer assembly including a stabilizer having a distal end and being pivotally mounted to the apron assembly, the stabilizer assembly further including stabilizer pivot means connected between the stabilizer and the hoist frame for pivoting the stabilizer between a retracted position and an extended position, the extended position including the distal end of the stabilizer being at or near the ground.
