A lifting device having a liftable and tiltable platform, said lifting device comprising:

• a) a frame, supported at a lower portion thereof by a floor surface,
• b) a lift arm comprising a cylinder unit for changing the length of the lift arm and having one end swingably journalled in the frame via a joint point,
• c) a link arm having one end swingably mounted in the frame, and having another end swingably connected, via a first mounting piece joint point, to a mounting piece projecting downwards from the platform, another end of the lift arm being connected to the link arm in a joint point disposed between the joint points at the one end and the other end of the link arm,
• d) a tilt arm comprising a cylinder unit for changing the length of the tilt arm, having one end swingably journalled in the frame, and having another end connected via a second mounting piece joint point in the mounting piece, whereby the tiltable platform is tiltable about the first mounting piece joint point;
• wherein:
• e) swinging axes of the lift arm, the link arm, and the tilt arm, respectively, are located in a zone in proximity to one end of the frame,
• f) in a bottom position of the platform, the link arm and the tilt arm are both connected to the platform in a zone in proximity to an end of the platform opposite the one end of the frame, and
