Pick-up vehicle having a swivel device and swivel device for loading and unloading the pick-up vehicle

A swivel device for loading and unloading a pick-up vehicle, the pickup vehicle having an open cargo bed coupled to a passenger cab, side walls, a rear wall, and wheel wells located one of inside and outside of the cargo bed, said swivel device comprising:

• at least one swivel arm;
• at least one connecting bridge;
• and
• at least one movable connection piece,
• wherein a swivel axis of said swivel device is adapted to be located between the rear wall and the wheel wells,
• wherein said at least one swivel arm comprises swivel arms located on both sides of the cargo bed, and said at least one connecting bridge is positioned to couple said swivel arms to form a swivel yoke, and
• wherein said swivel device includes two swivel axes located one behind the other in a longitudinal direction of said vehicle and at a same height relative to said cargo bed, wherein a swivel arm is swivelably coupled around said two swivel axes, and wherein the swivel arms are coupled together through said at least one movable connection piece, thereby forming a parallelogram-like swivel arm structure.

A pick-up vehicle having an open cargo bed coupled to a passenger cab, side walls, a rear wall, and wheel wells located one of inside and outside of the cargo bed, the pick-up vehicle comprising:

• a swivel device comprising at least four swivel arms swivelably coupled to a support device at first ends;
• a connecting bridge positioned to couple at least two of said four swivel arms at ends opposite said first ends, which forms a swivelable yoke;
• two connection pieces for coupling the swivelable yoke to the other swivel arms at the ends opposite said first ends;
• and
• at least one load uptake device being rigidly coupled to said two connection pieces,
• wherein said swivel arms are swivelably positionable around swivel axes between a rest position in which said swivel arms are substantially over the cargo bed and an extended position in which said arms extend out of the cargo bed in a direction of said rear wall, and
• wherein said swivel axes are located one behind the other and at same heights relative to the cargo bed.

A pick-up vehicle having an open cargo bed coupled to a passenger cab, side walls, a rear wall, and wheel wells located one of inside and outside of the cargo bed, the pick-up vehicle comprising:

• a swivel device comprising at least four swivel arms swivelably coupled to support devices at first ends, wherein said at least four swivel arms are formed into at least two pairs swivelable around swivel axes;
• at least one connecting bridge positioned to couple at least one of said at least two pairs of swivel arms at ends opposite said first ends, which forms at least one swivelable yoke;
• at least two connections for coupling the at least one swivelable yoke to the other pair of swivel arms at the ends opposite said first ends;
• and
• at least one load uplifting device being rigidly coupled to said at least two connections;
• wherein said at least one swivelable yoke and said other pair of swivel arms are swivelably positionable between a rest position in which said swivel arms are substantially over the cargo bed and an extended position in which said swivel arms extend out of the cargo bed in a direction of said rear wall, and
• wherein said swivel axes are horizontally spaced from each and arranged at same heights relative to the cargo bed.
