An apparatus for handling bulk material, the apparatus comprising a spreader configured for attachment to a crane, the spreader having a spreader body having a first engagement formation. The apparatus includes a bulk material storage cradle having a first side member and a second side member, the first and second side members defining two opposing longitudinal side walls which are spaced relative to each other to define an internal bulk material storage receptacle. The bulk material storage cradle has a second engagement formation, and at least one gate member having a proximal end hingedly connected to a lower portion of the first side member and a distal end having a third engagement formation configured to selectively engage with a fourth engagement formation located at a lower portion of the second side member. The first engagement formation is selectively engageable with the second engagement formation to secure the spreader to the bulk material storage cradle. The third engagement formation is selectively disengageable from the fourth engagement formation to release the gate member from the second side member.
