ABSTRACT:
A device includes a handling structure which has an end portion and a remaining part. The device also includes a driving arrangement which drives the handling structure between (i) a position of transportation in which the remaining part is disposed along a chassis of the vehicle and in which the end portion is at the front, and (ii) a position of picking up a load or placing it on the ground where the end portion is at the rear of the remaining part and behind the vehicle with its free end at a certain height with respect to the ground, in order to cooperate with a load whose gripping means is lower. In addition, the device includes a connecting arrangement which connects the free end of the end portion to the gripping arrangement and a controlling arrangement which controls the distance between the gripping arrangement and the end of the end portion using which the later is attached to the remainder of the handling structure. The distance between the position of transportation and the position of picking up or placing on the ground is controlled. In the apparatus, the controlling arrangement is formed by a cable and a winching device.
