Abstract

An apparatus and method for lifting and collapsing a collapsible cargo container (2) includes a frame (4), and vertical guides (26) for aligning the spreader (1) with the cargo container. First and second pusher assemblies (7) engage the end walls of the container to pivot the end walls against the ceiling of the container, where uplocks (13) retain the end walls in a stowed away position. Foldable side walls are then buckled by the weight of the ceiling with assistance from the spreader until the side walls occupy a predominantly horizontal position between the ceiling/end wall combination and a floor of the cargo container, resulting in a compact configuration. The spreader unfolds the container using steps discussed above in a reverse order.
