<p>A parking device (10) attachable to one end of a vehicle understruture (2) for use in parking the vehicle (2), includes a carriage (13) and coupling mechanism (14) which permits the carriage (13) to move either to a retracted position or to a deployed vertically-spaced position, and a parking wheel (11) having a pivotal mechanism (16) which permits the parking wheel (11) to be pivoted either to a folded, substantially horizontal position or to a deployed, substantially vertical position. A drive (20) is coupled to the carriage (13) and to the parking wheel (11) and is effective, when the carriage (13) is in its retracted position and the parking wheel (11) is in its folded position first to move the parking wheel (11) to its deployed position and then to move the carriage (13) to its deployed position lowering the parking wheel (11) into engagement with the ground and raising the respective end of the vehicle (2) off the ground.</p> |
