Vehicle transporter

A vehicle transporter, providing a support structure for supporting the wheels of a vehicle to be transported, said structure comprising a platform substantially open at a rear end thereof and having two pairs of transversely spaced-apart parallel beams extending longitudinally of the vehicle, a wheel support surface member extending between each of said pairs of beams below the level of the upper surfaces of the beams, and affording a supporting surface for the wheels of the vehicle to be carried, said pairs of beams, together with corresponding surface members extending therebetween, forming a pair of parallel tracks for supporting the vehicle to be transported, said structure being mounted on road-engaging wheel means, said wheel means including wheels disposed intermediate front and rear ends of said tracks, said road-engaging wheels lying entirely on the outer sides of the outermost ones of the beams forming the two supporting tracks;

• and another structure at the front of said platform rising above the level of the platform, and pivotally connected with the platform by limbs pivotable with respect to the platform about a first transverse horizontal axis and pivotable with respect to said fore-structure about a second transverse horizontal axis, said fore-structure having ground-engaging wheels, and extensible and retractable means being provided connected with said platform at a point substantially on said first axis and with said fore-structure at a point spaced from said axis, whereby if the angle of said fore-structure with respect to the road surface is kept constant, the level of the front of said platform can be adjusted by adjustment of said extensible and retractable means.
