A device adapted to operably engage a vehicle to load and unload a container between the vehicle and a surface, and to cooperate with the vehicle to transport the container, is provided. Such a device includes a pair of laterally separated horizontal lifting members configured to be vertically movable with respect to the vehicle and a vertically-movable member operably engaged with the forward ends of the lifting members. A tether is operably engaged between each lifting member and the container so as to secure the container thereto. A translatory device is engaged between the vehicle and the vertically-movable member and configured to support the lifting members as well as move the lifting members longitudinally with respect to the vehicle. To unload the container, the vertically-movable member and the lifting members raise the container above the vehicle and then the translatory device longitudinally moves the container along the vehicle past a vertical plane defined by the rearward end thereof. The container is then lowered to the surface by the vertically-movable member and the lifting members and the tethers disengaged from the container. The reverse procedure loads the container onto the vehicle. Associated devices, systems, and methods are also provided.

L'invention concerne un dispositif conçu pour entrer en prise fonctionnelle avec un véhicule en vue du chargement et du déchargement d'un conteneur entre le véhicule et une surface, et pour coopérer avec le véhicule pour le transport dudit conteneur. Ce dispositif comprend une paire d'éléments de levage horizontaux latéralement séparés pouvant se déplacer verticalement par rapport au véhicule, ainsi qu'un élément verticalement mobile entrant en prise fonctionnelle avec les extrémités avant des éléments de levage. Un câble d'attache est mis en prise fonctionnelle entre chaque élément de levage et le conteneur de manière à fixer ledit conteneur à celui-ci. Un dispositif de translation est mis en prise entre le véhicule et l'élément verticalement mobile et conçu pour supporter les éléments de levage et les déplacer longitudinalement par rapport au véhicule. Pour décharger le conteneur, l'élément verticalement mobile et les éléments de levage font monter le conteneur au-dessus du véhicule. Ensuite, le dispositif de translation déplace longitudinalement le conteneur le long du véhicule au-delà d'un plan vertical défini par son extrémité arrière. Le conteneur est alors descendu sur la surface par l'élément verticalement mobile et les éléments de levage et les câbles d'attache sont retirés du conteneur. L'opération inverse permet de charger le conteneur sur le véhicule. L'invention concerne également des dispositifs, des systèmes et des procédés associés.
