front of tray under area like a simple primemover turn table two sliding pins in to brackets buty manually pinned to stop sliding back out by say a slide bolt like a fork sliding under a bolt head then pin'd so it cant be pulled back out
rear one each side over center locks say like a larger unit similar to a tool box lid set up and again slide manual bolt locked to stop from opening ive seen large ones of these hold live stock crates to flat bead trailers

to change bins on trucks on hobby farms by a single man they use around pipe pole thru the front and rear and attach a snail eccentric wheel so as they back up it lifts the bin and then they lock the snail wheels and drive off leaving it in the air for next time
or maybe more to your set up a windup jocky wheel setup like for fifth wheel caravans that lock in to the under of the tray like an inverted l set up out of square tubing with cleenaway bin wheels at the base two fixed two not so it can be moved when off ute
