Abstract
The lifting and depositing device for a large container has four rack and pinion jacks attached to its corners at a low point by overhang beams. The racks are fastened to uprights, along which the rack and pinion jacks can be raised and lowered by suitable operation. In order to move the large containers with the lifting and depositing device, the bottom ends of the uprights are connected by wheel supports with wheels. The wheels are mounted on a wheel swiveling mechanism which has a support surface for the bottom end of the uprights. The wheel swiveling mechanism is rotatable relative to the uprights for controllability of the device. Each support surface for an upright is provided on a rocker mounted on the wheel swiveling mechanism for rotation about a substantially horizontal axis. The support surface is arranged lower in relation to the axis of the wheels so that the wheel swiveling mechanism can be moved when a large container is placed on the ground to the side beneath the rack and pinion jack to position the bottom end of the adjacent upright on the support surface to support and couple them.
