ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a vehicle which is capable of lifting a load from the ground into a transport position on the vehicle and vice-versa. The lifting apparatus includes a member or frame (4) pivotally mounted at 5 on the vehicle chassis and controlled by a hydraulic ram (11). An arm (14) is pivotally mounted on the member or frame (4) and is controlled by a hydraulic ram (16). A member (18) is telescopically mounted in the arm (14) and is controlled by a third hydraulic ram. Bars (20 and 21) on the end of the member (18) are engageable in slots (22 and 23) on the forward end of a flatrack or similar load (24). In one embodiment of the invention, the mechanism can be used for tipping a load as well as for hoisting it on and off the vehicle and, for this purpose, hooks (27), rollers (28) and the pivot point (5) are located in brackets (8) rotatable about an axis (7).
