A container loading and unloading device is described wherein containers are raised along a substantially vertical path, thereafter displaced along a horizontal path and finally lowered along a vertical path. The device comprises at least one horizontal girder supported by a frame; at least two hoists disposed for raising and lowering of the containers, the hoists being supported by and movable over the girder and operatively positioned a distance from each other; and at least one substantially horizontally extending continuous conveyor for the horizontal displacement of the containers. Such conveyor is situated between the hoists and includes a support for at least one container and means for displacing such support and container placed thereon along a horizontal path from a point near one hoist to a point near the other.
