a base;
an actuator coupled to the base;
a transmission coupled to the actuator;
an arm coupled to the transmission; and
an implement coupled to the arm;
wherein the implement is configured to engage with a container such that operation of the actuator facilitates pivoting the container from a base position to a dump position to dump contents within the container;
