MEANS OF TRANSPORT Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B62D53/02 B60P1/02 

FIELD: means of transport; agricultural machine-building industry.

SUBSTANCE: vehicle includes two-axial chassis with front and rear wheels and frame. Frame consists of front semi-frame with installed motor and transmission unit and cabin with control panel and rear semi-frame where platform with hydraulic actuator and rise- and-fall mechanism is installed on articulated arms. Articulated arms are installed so that to ensure turning of gimbal-mounted and welded to side members semi-frame around common arms axis and tipping of platform also around common axis. Rise-and-fall mechanism is represented with brackets rigidly installed on the axis and gimbal-mounted to both hydraulic actuator rods within rise-and-fall mechanism hydraulic system. Both hydraulic actuators are connected with control board. Body of each actuator is fixed to rear semi-frame. Two straps with rear axle are rigidly fixed to common axis ends. Platform is raised and fallen by vehicle turning around front axle in vertical direction. Angle between landed platform and horizontal rear axle is equal to turning angle of vertical cabin axis and horizontal axes of motor and transmission unit with regard to vertical and horizontal front axle, accordingly.

EFFECT: application of specifically designed vehicles is expanded; labour output ratio of handling operations is decreased as loading is possible directly from ground without additional lifting equipment.
