ABSTRACT:
A vehicle transporter is disclosed, for use in filming scenes in which characters are shown as occupying a moving vehicle, and in which the characters, and adjacent parts of the vehicle, appear in the foreground, and which transporter can also be used for straightforward transportation of such a vehicle by road.
The vehicle transporter comprises a low flat platform so contrived that the vehicle in question can readily be driven or wheeled onto it from behind, the transporter having at its front end a relatively raised structure, carrying castor wheels, and having a draw bar bearing a towing attachment. Adjustment means is provided whereby the level of the front of the platform relative to the towing attachment can be adjusted, and further wheels are carried by the platform, mid-way along the latter, at least one pair of which can also be adjusted in level relative to the platform, so that the platform can be placed very close to the road surface, for filming, in the interests of authenticity, and can be raised, for transportation, on public roads, to the level required by regulations and in the interests of safety.
