<p>An apparatus (10) for lifting and transporting a load, in particular in the form of a container (11), comprises a supporting frame (12), means or wheels (16, 18) for moving the apparatus relative to the ground, means (20) for lifting the load comprising a respective mast having a first part (20a) connected to the frame (12) and a second part (20b) extendable relative to the first part (20a), and means (22) for gripping the load, able to move along the mast (20). The apparatus also comprising traction or movement driving means (24, 24) and means (26, 26) for driving the lifting of the load gripping means, the traction means (24, 24) and/or the means (26, 26) for driving the lifting being in the form of corresponding electric motor means which are powered by corresponding electricity accumulator means (30) through corresponding control means (314, 314, 316, 316). The apparatus is such that, advantageously, during the lowering strokes of the extendable part of the mast, the electric motor means (26, 26) of the lifting means (20) are designed to act as means for generating electricity, which is supplied to the electricity accumulator means (30).</p> |
