ABSTRACT:
A system for handling heavy and unwieldy vehicles which may have transporting wheels permanently affixed thereto or detachable therefrom with the system including a unique large forklift capable of lifting the vehicle from one surface to another surface at a different elevation. Lifting devices other than the unique forklift may be utilized to lift and move heavy and unwieldy vehicles with the vehicles including special points or areas which can be used for lifting and moving the vehicle with the vehicle also having components capable of being stacked one component on top of another by the lifting device, such as the forklift, with the entire stack then being lifted and moved by the lifting device, such as the forklift. The large forklift for lifting the heavy and unwieldy vehicle incorporates two or more machines which are connected together by suitable connecting means so that they can be disconnected from the connecting means enabling their use as individual machines. The lifting device is capable of lifting other vehicles than those disclosed or other loads especially when using a pallet attached to the lift forks and the machine or machines used for purposes other than lifting. Various types and combinations of machines may be used to form the lift device and commercially available steering and control arrangements can be used to enable a single operator to operate the lift device.
