<p>The invention relates to a hauling vehicle in the form of a so called terminal tractor which at first hand is intended for transporting containers but which also can be used for transporting different kinds of trailers which are provided only with rear wheels. This hauling vehicle is two-axled and is provided at its rear end with connecting means designed to enable an essentially rigid interconnection of the vehicle frame with the front end of the container or the trailer to be hauled. The rear wheels of the hauling vehicle is steerable as well as drivable from the driving motor of the vehicle. Moreover, the rear axle carrying these steerable and drivable wheels , is connected to the vehicle frame by means of means, e.g. hydraulic cylinders, enabling an adjustment of the vertical position of the vehicle frame relative to the rear axle. After that the vehicle with the rear end of its frame has been rigidly interconnected with the front end of the container, the vehicle frame can be raised relative to the rear axle, whereby the front end of the container is lifted up into the air. The distribution of the weight of the vehicle between the rear axle and the front axle is such that also the front wheels of the vehicle are lifted up into the air. If the rear end of the container has been provided with a temporarily affixed wheel set with hydraulically operable wheels the hauling vehice according to the invention together with the container will form a drivable equipage whose drivable and steerable front wheels are the rear wheels of the hauling vehicle.</p> |
