A device for moving a container, comprising:
- a first piece with a wheel adjacent one end;
- and
- a second piece attached to the first piece at a pivotal connection, the second piece including a lift portion on one side of the pivotal connection and a handle on an opposite side of the pivotal connection;
- wherein the handle is adapted to be pivoted about an axis of the pivotal connection to cause the lift portion to lift a portion of the container.
A method of moving a container with a device having first and second pieces attached to one another at a pivotal connection, the first piece having a wheel adjacent one end, the second piece having a lift portion on one side of the pivotal connection and a handle on an opposite side of the pivotal connection, the method comprising:
- positioning the device adjacent the container so that the lift portion is underneath a lift bar of the container;
- pivoting the handle downwards to cause the lift portion to move upwards against a bottom of the lift bar;
- and
- applying force to the handle to cause the device and the container to move horizontally across a surface.
A device for moving a container, comprising:
- a first piece with a press member at one end;
- a second piece with a lift portion at one end;
- a pivotal connection between the first and second pieces;
- wherein the end of the second piece opposite the lift portion is manipulable to cause the lift portion and the press member to pivot towards each other about an axis of the pivotal connection to grab a lift bar of the container and lift a portion of the container upwards.
