The disclosure relates to a system and method for supporting, lifting, and dumping a tundish. The system includes a transporter, a carrier cradle, and a tilting mechanism. The transporter has a frame. The carrier cradle is operatively coupled to the transporter and adapted for engaging and supporting the tundish. The tilting mechanism is coupled to the transporter and coupled to the carrier cradle. The tilting mechanism includes an actuator, at least one longitudinal main arm, and a tilt linkage assembly. The tilting mechanism is configured to pivot the carrier cradle about a horizontal transverse axis for emptying contents of the tundish upon actuation by the actuator.
