A loader vehicle comprising a body having a front end and a rear end and provided with ground engageable propulsion means, an operator's compartment and a boom assembly, comprising a lift arm assembly and a pivot member which projects transversely from the inner end of the lift arm assembly on one side thereof and extends transversely across the body from said one side of the lift arm assembly and which is pivotally mounted on the body, adjacent the rear end thereof, for movement of the lift arm assembly between a raised position and a lowered position in which the lift arm assembly extends forwardly alongside the operator's compartment and means for carrying a material handling implement at an outer end of the boom assembly so as to be disposed forward of the front end of the body, wherein the pivot member is pivotally mounted, for movement about a first axis, on a torsion member, which extends transversely across the body, by first pivotal mounting means disposed at positions which are spaced apart transversely of the torsion member and the torsion member is pivotally mounted on the body, for movement about a second axis which is parallel to the first axis and which extends transversely of the body, by second pivotal mounting means disposed at positions which are spaced apart transversely of the body.
A loader vehicle comprising a body having a front end and a rear end and provided with ground engageable propulsion means, an operator's compartment and a boom assembly, said boom assembly, comprising a lift arm assembly and a pivot member which projects transversely from an inner end of the lift arm assembly on one side thereof and extends transversely across the body from said one side of the lift arm assembly and which is pivotally mounted on the body, adjacent the rear end thereof, for movement of the lift arm assembly between a raised position and a lowered position in which the lift arm assembly extends forwardly alongside the operator's compartment and means carrying a material handling implement at an outer end of the boom assembly so as to be disposed forward of the front end of the body, wherein the pivot member is pivotally mounted, for movement about a first axis, on a torsion member, which extends transversely across the body, by first pivotal mounting means disposed at positions which are spaced apart transversely of the torsion member and the torsion member is pivotally mounted on the body, for movement about a second axis which is parallel to the first axis and which extends transversely of the body, by second pivotal mounting means disposed at positions which are spaced apart transversely of the body.
A loader vehicle comprising, a body having a front end and a rear end and provided with ground engageable propulsion means, a single operator's compartment provided at a fixed location on the body and comprising an enclosure and a boom assembly which is mounted, at an inner end thereof, on the body, adjacent the rear end thereof, for movement between a raised position and a lowered position in which the boom assembly extends forwardly alongside the operator's compartment and a material handling implement carried on an outer end of the boom assembly is disposed forward of the front end of the body wherein the boom assembly is a generally L-shaped member comprising a lift arm assembly, which extends forwardly along one side only of the operator's compartment and a substantial pivot member which is rigid with the lift arm assembly, which projects from the inner end of the lift arm assembly on one side thereof and extends transversely across the body from said one side of the lift arm assembly to a position adjacent the opposite side of the body, the pivot member being mounted on the body by pivotal mounting means disposed at positions which are spaced apart transversely of the body and are adjacent an upper rear end part of the body and are on opposite sides of the body.
