The present invention relates to a vehicle having a U-shaped and rearwardly open frame, said vehicle being adapted to move backwards relative to a load carrier (5) until said load carrier is situated within the shanks (6, 7) of said U-shaped frame and adapted to lift said load carrier (5) from the ground (9) for transportation thereof after lifting. For being able to manufacture this vehicle at reasonable costs and ensure that the vehicle is in correct balance during handling as well as transportation of the load carrier, the U-shaped frame (3) is immovably mounted in vertical direction on a drive unit (1) of the vehicle situated in front of said frame, the U-shaped frame (3) includes a lifting unit (10) having such vertically movable lifting arms (11-14) that said arms can (a) engage the load carrier (5) when it stands on the ground (9) within the shanks (6, 7) of the U-shaped frame (3), (b) lift said load carrier (5) from the ground (9) to a transport position (T), in which said load carrier is lockable relative to said U-shaped frame (3) and in which the vehicle can transport said load carrier, and (c) lift said load carrier (5) up above said transport position (T) to one or several positions (L), in which said load carrier is situated at a suitable height for loading and/or unloading, whereby the vertically movable lifting arms (11-14) are pivotally mounted in such a manner that they can move the load carrier (5) in a vertical direction or a substantially vertical direction without substantial displacement thereof in lobgitudinal direction and/or without substantial tilting relative to the U-shaped frame (3). <IMAGE> |
