摘要

The self propelled or hauled vehicle which has a lifting platform (21) and a conveyor (22) on the platform. There is also a conveyor on the chassis (20) and two lifts (26,30) one at each end. This permits containers or pallets to be moved in a closed loop, from one level to the other. Containers move on the lower conveyor by gravity on rollers towards the rear. On the rear lift they go on loose forked roller tracks when in the low position. Lifting between the two levels is controlled by a ram (24), cable and pulley.
