Abstract: Lifting frames (2) suitable for moving a pack of sheet material (244) are described. Lifting frames according to the invention comprise first and second legs (4, 5), each leg having a foot (8,10) mounted thereon. The pack to be moved stands on the feet and is retained on the frame by pairs of fingers that can contact the front and rear faces of the pack. One pair of fingers (48,50) can be raised whilst another pair of fingers retains the pack on the frame. This enables the pack of sheet material to be removed from either side of the frame (2), thereby reversing the orientation of the pack in a single lifting operation. Methods of moving a pack of sheet material using lifting frames according to the invention are also described.

Abstract: A device for holding a container, where the container in turn is used to hold objects to be disposed of, is disclosed. The device is designed to hold the container in a tilted or angled orientation so that objects placed within the container move away from the entry location due to gravity and thereby provide for more efficient use and safer use of the container. By tilting the container to one side, and in particular, towards the side furthest from the entry location of the container, the objects placed into the container fall away from the entry location to allow for more objects to be placed into the container. In one embodiment the device may be a wire-type cage configuration with rotatable legs. In another embodiment the device may itself be a solid or partially solid container with a rotatable leg section.
