Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of weight-carrying equipment. More particularly a lifter to lift and load one or a stack of plastic telescopic bins from one point and unload them to another point by moving the trolley manually without even touching the telescopic bins in an area of interest.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, a store or a warehouse uses different kinds of weight transfer systems or equipment like a manual trolley, a motorized trolley, a ropeway system, or a conveyor system depending upon the size and the weight of the items. In modern warehouses, packaged cartoons, boxes or bins of various types and sizes are used for storing materials.
[0003] While the transfer of material for despatch or from one point to another point within the store, the trolleys are loaded and unloaded manually and even their movement. This requires the use of additional labour and therefore increases the inventory carrying cost for a store. Sometimes manually picking and dropping multiple bins onto a pallet and moving the pallet by hand pallet trucks may damage the products due to unintentional event with the labour. Also, problems arise when bin sizes are different especially telescopic bins. The telescopic bins are on the ground and are being transferred from one place to another by pushing manually or first lift and place on a pallet and then moving with the pallet truck. Pushing manually causes damage to the base of the bin due to friction.
[0004] Though there are multiple types of manual lifter and trollies available in the market for such work but are bulky, costly, and require either a hydraulic mechanism or an electro-mechanical means of lifting the equipment.
[0005] Conventional apparatus provides a bin lifting device to facilitate the movement of loaded storage bins by attachment to the storage bin to permit the lifting and movement of the bin by means of a forklift truck using shackle and strap assembly.
[0006] Another conventional apparatus a lifting device for storage bin for supporting the storage bin for movement along a conveying rail. The type of bin having a hopper front along with the side walls of the bins deflected inwardly and outwardly so as to provide shoulders extending along the side s of the bin and lifted with a set of arms.
[0007] While the conventional apparatus provides different types of lifting and moving devices, it is possible to provide a more efficient, simple, light-weight, and cost-effective lifting equipment that can lift and load one or a stack of telescopic bins from one point and unload them to another point within the store or a warehouse and does not require any labour to load or unload the bins except for moving the lifter.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0008] A general object of the present disclosure is to provide simple, light-weight, and cost-effective lifting equipment that can lift and load one or a stack of telescopic bins from one point and unload them to another point.
[0009] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a device that is easy to operate.
[0010] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a device that remains in a locked position while moving the lifter.
[0011] Yet another object of the present disclosure is that do not even require touching the telescopic bins to load or unload of the telescopic bins.
