<p>A vehicle for reaching, lifting, retracting, stacking and carrying loads. The vehicle (20) includes a load carrying portion (34) disposed behind the front axle (33) of the vehicle for receiving and transporting loads, so that the vehicle (20) is able to transport loads without tipping yet without carrying excess ballast. The vehicle (20) includes a reach and retract assembly (22) and lifting device (56) for reaching to secure or release loads substantially far from the vehicle and retracting to secure or release loads stacked on the load carrying portion (34) of the vehicle. The reach and retract lifting device (56) is interchangeable depending on the desired lifting operation. To prevent tipping while reaching loads, the vehicle (20) incorporates selectively actuable outriggers (72a, 72b). Additionally, the vehicle (20) includes selectively actuable hydraulic cylinders (70a, 70b) or the like for adjusting the lateral position of a lifted load.</p> |
