Load handling device for a transportation unit and a transportation unit with said device

A wheel-mounted load transportation unit of a vehicle, comprising a device for load handling including:

• a folding handling arm, equipped with a handling head and at least two successive arm parts, in which the arm parts are connected to each other by a folding fastening,
• a suspension structure to suspend said handling arm for the purpose of supporting it,
• a rotating structure to turn said handling arm by turning the suspension structure in relation to the support frame located at the upper part of the cargo space in the device, and
• a transfer motor by means of which the support frame and the rotation ring structure supported to and the handling arm suspended from it are arranged to be transferrable by a linear movement in relation to guides in the longitudinal direction of the upper part edges of the transportation unit roof,
• wherein the suspension structure of the handling arm is essentially a rotationally symmetrical, rotation ring structure disc that is rotatable in relation to its support frame with said rotating structure in order to suspend the handling arm for the purpose of supporting it,
• wherein the two successive arm parts are both configured to be independently extended and collapsed so as to be stored underneath and against the suspension structure.
