There is provided an apparatus for handing bulk materials, the apparatus comprising a spreader securable to a crane hook, the spreader including a first engagement formation engageable with a container. There is further included a tilting mechanism defined by at least one longitudinally extending member having a proximal end secured at or near a rear end of the spreader, and a distal end secured at or near a front end of the spreader, an opening being defined between the spreader and the longitudinally extending member, the opening having a first high point located near the distal end and a second high point located near the proximal end, and a low point located between the proximal and distal ends. The spreader is securable to the crane hook with a fixed connection defined by a lug or other such mounting formation located at or near the rear end of the spreader, and a moveable connection including a ring or other such linkage seated on the longitudinally extending member and freely moveable between the proximal and distal ends, a sling being located between the ring and the crane hook. The spreader is generally horizontal when the ring of the moveable connection is positioned at the first high point, and the spreader is angularly inclined when the ring of the moveable connection is positioned at the second high point.
