Abstract
To decrease the off-load turn-around time of HGVs, the invention involves inter alia a system including vehicle outrigger and landing gear apparatus adapted to be completely separable from a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) vehicle it is intended to be supported on, including a goods supportable frame mountable to a HGV; and a plurality of moveable outrigger arms fitted to the frame, each outrigger arm further including a landing leg fitted thereto, each outrigger arm being moveable from a stowed to a deployed position enabling the frame to be supported on the landing legs in the deployed position; wherein movement of each outrigger arm from its stowed to its deployed position involves both translation and rotation of the arm relative to the frame; and a HGV.

A vehicle outrigger and landing gear apparatus adapted to be completely separable from a vehicle it is intended to be supported on including:
- a goods supportable frame mountable to a heavy goods vehicle (HGV);
- and
- a plurality of moveable outrigger arms fitted to the frame, each outrigger arm further including a landing leg fitted thereto, each outrigger arm being moveable from a stowed to a deployed position enabling the frame to be supported on the landing legs in the deployed position;
- wherein movement of each outrigger arm from its stowed to its deployed position involves both translation and rotation of the arm relative to the frame.
Apparatus as claimed in 6, wherein, the or each collar is a polygonal tube.
A system to enable a HGV to rapidly off-load the goods it is carrying including:
- a vehicle outrigger and landing gear apparatus adapted to support a load, the apparatus including:
- a goods supportable frame mountable to a heavy goods vehicle (HGV);
- a plurality of moveable outrigger arms fitted to the frame, each outrigger arm further including a landing leg fitted thereto, each outrigger arm being moveable from a stowed to a deployed position enabling the frame to be supported on the landing legs in the deployed position;
- and wherein movement of each outrigger arm from its stowed to its deployed position involves both translation and rotation of the outrigger arms relative to the frame;
- and
- a HGV adapted to support the vehicle outrigger and landing gear apparatus.
