Loading platform for transport vehicle

摘要

The loading platform is connected for articulated movement to swivel arms (2) swivel mounted on the vehicle frame and is able to rise and fall through a mechanical drive. The loading platform has its swivel axis (5) set in the articulated joint (4) and can raise up into a perpendicular position to form an end wall. The swivel axis between platform and arms also forms the swivel axis for the lever couplings between the short part near the vehicle and the long part away from the vehicle. The parts are coupled when they unfold to form one plane. Cable or chain pulleys (22) bring the platform into a ramp like inclined position. The length of the chain or cable is adjusted by threaded spindle.
