ABSTRACT:
A self-loading vehicle has a frame as well as a ground-engaging structure supporting the frame for travelling movement, this latter structure and frame cooperating to provide for the vehicle a given wheelbase. A lever is pivotally connected with the frame to turn with respect thereto about a lever axis, while a load-carrier is pivotally connected to the lever to turn with respect thereto about a carrier axis. A displacing structure is operatively connected to the frame, the lever, and the load-carrier to displace the lever with respect to the frame while turning the lever about the lever axis and to displace the load carrier with respect to the lever while turning the load carrier about the carrier axis. This displacing structure, the lever, and the load-carrier cooperate with each other to situate the load-carrier in a load-receiving position where the load-carrier is relatively close to the ground and situated beyond the wheelbase, as well as for placing the load carrier in a load-transporting position where the load carrier is closer to the wheelbase than when the load carrier in its load-receiving position, with the load carrier when in its load-transporting position being situated sufficiently close to the wheelbase to provide for stable travel of the vehicle with a load carried by the load-carrier.
