Dolly and method of manipulating same

A dolly for transporting a container having a container axis along a ground surface, the dolly comprising:

• a frame having an axle extending between at least two dolly wheels being displaceable along the ground surface, the axle defining a pivot axis for the dolly, the frame having a support member with a ground-engaging element spaced apart from the dolly wheels, the support member being pivotable about the pivot axis;
• a lever arm mounted to the frame and extending away therefrom to a handle, the lever arm being positioned on a first side of the axle, the lever arm being pivotable about the pivot axis;
• and
• a container support mounted to the frame on the first side of the axle, the container support being spaced from the handle of the lever arm to define a space to receive the container on the first side of the axle, the container support being pivotable about the pivot axis;
• the handle being manipulable by a user of the dolly to pivot the support member, the lever arm, and the container support about the pivot axis between at least a storage position and a discharge position, the pivot axis remaining at a constant distance from the ground surface during pivoting between the storage position and the discharge position, wherein:
• in the storage position, the container axis has an upright orientation, part of the container support is located closer from the ground surface than the pivot axis, and the ground-engaging element is spaced from the ground surface;
• in the discharge position, the container axis has an orientation being substantially parallel to the ground surface, the lever arm extends at a higher elevation from the ground surface than the container support, and the ground-engaging element abuts against the ground surface;
• and
• the container support is located closer to the pivot axis and at a lower evaluation from the ground surface than the handle in the storage position and in the discharge position.
