A lift (10) attachable to a vehicle comprises a base assembly(12) mountable to a vehicle, a platform assembly (14) for raising and lowering a load, and a linkage assembly (16) for moving the platform assembly relative to the base assembly. A bridge plate (26) is provided for movement between a loading position in which the bridge plate is substantially level with the platform assembly and in use bridges a gap between a vehicle and the platform assembly (figure 3), and a deployed position in which the bridge plate is substantially perpendicular to the platform assembly (figure 4). A slider bar (116, fig 9) is secured to the platform assembly for sliding movement along a first axis, and a joint is provided (128, fig 9) between the platform assembly and the bridge plate, which is secured to the platform assembly for sliding movement along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The joint is configured such that movement along the second axis rotates the bridge plate relative to the platform assembly, where the slider bar is engageable with the joint such that movement of the slider bar along the first axis causes movement of the joint along the second axis.
