A vehicle for the transport of containerized freight, i.e. goods which have been packaged in quantity for shipment on a pallet, in a receptacle, etc., has an elongated rigid closed frame whose rear end is provided with wheels and whose front end is adapted to be pulled. Extending parallel to each other and to each side of an opening in the frame are a pair of arms which each have one end pivoted toward the front of the frame and another end attached to one end of an expansible hydraulic cylinder supported toward the rear of the frame. Expansion of the cylinders pushes the free end of the arms downwardly. These free ends are provided with wheels, which can be the usual road wheels of the vehicle, so that when the cylinders are actuated, the rear end of the frame is lifted and the frame, in this position, can be backed over a container and thereafter lowered around it. Means is provided around the frame opening to grab the container and lift it into place within the opening for transport.
