1. A system for loading and unloading containers from a transport vehicle comprising:
- an elongated tilt frame member pivotally attached to a transport vehicle;
a dual cylinder reeving arrangement positioned on the tilt frame member for loading and unloading containers onto and off from a vehicle; and
a hinged tail member pivotally attached to the tilt frame member;
wherein said tail member can be rotated between a first position in alignment with said tilt frame member and a second position lowered toward the ground.

Abstract
A container handling system and method for a wheeled transport vehicle is disclosed that is capable of loading and unloading containers, particularly in locations where the overhead height is limited. A hinged tail member at the rear end of the elongated body (a/k/a tilt frame member) is rotated adjacent the ground allowing the containers to be loaded and unloaded without rotating the tilt frame to its maximum height. A cable reeving arrangement, such as a dual reeving arrangement, can be utilized to load and unload the containers.

23. A method for loading and unloading containers onto a transport vehicle comprising:
-
a. providing an elongated tilt frame member rotatably attached to a transport vehicle; b. providing a tail member pivotably attached to the elongated tilt frame member by a pivot member and being actuated by at least one hydraulic cylinder, said tail member being rotatable between a first position in alignment with said tilt frame member and a second position lowered toward the ground; c. providing a hydraulic cylinder reeving arrangement on said tilt frame member for connecting to containers, said reeving arrangement having a cable member; d. actuating pivotal rotation of said tail member from said first position to assist in loading or unloading containers; e. connecting said cable member of said hydraulic cylinder reeving arrangement to a container; and f. activating said hydraulic cylinder reeving arrangement to assist in loading or unloading a container onto said tail member and said tilt frame member. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
