Patent attributes
A trailer hitch mounted recycling, transporting, and even a waste container transporting apparatus includes a tubing connector, that secures with the trailer hitch of a vehicle, and having a support plate, that mounts a lifting tube permanently thereon. A pivot rod pivotally secures to the upper end of the lifting tube, and the pivot rod connects with a lifting lever, which when pivoted from a vertical to a horizontal position, allows for movement of a container either onto or off of the ground, in preparation for its transport, or removal from this apparatus. A lifting hook slidably engages with the lifting tube, and connects with a lifting bracket at its upper end, which connects with a short lever, that provides a sliding movement to the lifting hook either upwardly with respect to the lifting tube, or downwardly therefrom, so that its hook device can secure to the container to provide for its lifting, transport, and lowering, after it has been moved to a distant location.
