A dumping apparatus for rubbish and garbage bins which can either be a single large container or a plurality of small containers can have, at the end of an arm extendable toward the container or containers and liftable to permit the containers to swing over the collecting space in a truck, one or a pair of transport units which are self-adjusting against the container or containers. Preferably two such units are provided on opposite sides of a fulcrum of a transverse beam provided with a rotator element which automatically restores a normal position for lifting and dumping. The beam is locked in this position. The individual transport units can have their gripper and bracing elements connected to a tilting frame by flexible joints which also can be locked.
