Abstract
A container carriage has an elongated skid 30 with an upstanding arm 76 at a forward end thereof, the arm 76 being releasably engageable with a loader 32 mounted on the frame of a container hauling truck 36. A pair of laterally spaced legs 80,82 formed on the skid adjustably mount a pair of arm attachments 102 to engage and carry a conventional front loading container 52. Alternatively, hook attachments 118 are adjustably mounted on the legs 80,82 to engage and carry a conventional rear loading container 62. Movement of the loader 32 between an on-off loading position and a transport position results in the carriage being drawn across the end of the truck 36 and positioned in overlying relation with the truck frame 34.
