ABSTRACT:
A carrier for transporting goods has a compartment adapted to hold goods. A crane is peripherally mounted near the underside of the compartment for articulating about a pivot axis between an upright position and a level position. The carrier has a carriage with a plurality of wheels. The carriage is adapted to slide under the compartment and on the crane. The carrier has an actuating controller for: (a) sliding the carriage between the compartment and the crane; and (b) hoisting and lowering the carriage with the crane. The system can operate by first lowering the crane to a level position. Then the carriage can be slid from underneath the compartment to a position suspended on the crane. Then the crane is articulated to an upright position to lift the carriage up against the compartment. The steps can also be reversed to bring the carriage back underneath the compartment.
