ABSTRACT:
A load handling vehicle is provided which comprises a generally elongated body having a pair of traversable masts thereon for side loading and unloading long and heavy loads. The masts are provided with articulating booms suspended from a horizontal spreader for grasping cargo containers by twist locks on their extremities. Means are provided for traversing the masts to the side of the body so that the load may be deposited thereon for travel. The body is equipped with motive power means for propelling the vehicle. Wheels at the four corners of the vehicle provide support and means for moving the vehicle sideways to the longitudinal direction of travel for picking up and depositing loads. Segments in the form of telescoping track members of the vehicle body can be extended so as to provide greater lateral stability when picking up and depositing loads. Enhanced operator visibility is provided by means of a pantograph mounted cab which is movable to various positions suited for the roading, loading and unloading modes of operation of the vehicle.
