摘要： A hydraulically actuated mobile carrier frame wraps around a storage container (34) of standard size and lifts the container from the ground onto a transport vehicle (78). The carrier frame (24) subsequently returns the container to the ground. The carrier frame stays with the vehicle or remains in a storage facility for handling containers within the facility. The carrier frame can be expanded transversely to clear the vehicle for loading and unloading.
