ABSTRACT:
A transport vehicle adapted to position a U-shaped frame so that arms of the U-shaped frame are on either side of a load supported in a raised position. A plurality of lifting cylinders are mounted along each arm of the vehicle and are connected to an inwardly directed tine which is positioned beneath the raised load. Once the vehicle is positioned so that the arms straddle the load and the tines are beneath the load, the cylinders are actuated and the tines raise the load to a travelling position. A tailgate is pivotally connected at one end to one of said arms and is closed for transport of the load to thereby provide transverse structural support at a trailing end of the vehicle. A plurality of wheels are singularly mounted in longitudinal alignment along the arms of said frame. Each of said wheels is quickly removable from the frame.
