Abstract
A device is provided for use on a vehicle chassis for securing a removable container during its transport. The chassis is the type having a tilting frame enabling a loaded container to be slidably cable-drawn from ground level onto the vehicle. The securing device includes a first sub-section mounted to the tilting frame side with a pivotal hook-like latching bar for securing the container to the tilting frame. The securing device further includes a second sub-section mounted in vertical alignment with the first sub-section, which acts to pivot the latching bar between its non-engaged position and its engaged position as a function of the movement of the tilting frame relative to the chassis.
