an improved apparatus for collecting , storing , transporting and dumping cropped sections of continuously cast bar . the present invention is embodied in a dumpable crop bar container generally comprising a yoke and rear stanchion assembly surrounding and pivotally attached to a receptacle and front stanchion assembly by an axle and sleeve assembly . a conventional forklift is used to transport the present invention and to discharge collected crop bar from it . the forklift pushes the front stanchions against a stationary curb , forcing them to pivot inward and upward on the axle which cause the receptacle rigidly affixed thereto to pivot upward and outward . the base of the receptacle pivots to almost vertical and all of the crop bar is dumped out . as the fork lift backs away from the stationary curb , the weight of the receptacle and front stanchion assembly returns it to its original position .
