Claim 9:
10. An unloading device for unloading bulk goods from a laterally open container, the unloading device comprising:
a tilting unit and a platform having a common rotational axis, about which said tilting unit and said platform are able to be moved;
said platform being able to be positioned in a flipped down position and in a flipped up position;
said platform, in the flipped up position, when the laterally open container is positioned on said tilting unit, closes an opening side of the laterally open container;
said tilting unit is configured, during a transition of said platform from the flipped up position into the flipped down position, to tilt together with said platform about the common rotational axis in such a way that a position of said platform relative to said tilting unit does not change, wherein in the flipped down position the container is positioned on the opening side adjacent said tilting unit allowing the bulk goods to be deposited on said platform; and
said tilting unit is configured to tilt back into an initial position after tilting, wherein said platform remains in the flipped down position with any deposited said bulk goods.
