Abstract
In a loading platform system for mounting on a vehicle, especially a truck provided with a loading platform mounted to the vehicle by a lift support structure which is operated by a lift actuator for lifting and lowering loads onto, and from, a vehicle loading bed by way of the loading platform, a locking structure is provided for locking the loading platform in its raised position in which its surface is in planar alignment with the vehicle loading bed, thereby preventing exposure of the lift actuator to the stresses generated by heavy loads disposed on the loading platform during loading and unloading of the vehicle.
Claims8
A loading platform system for mounting on a vehicle having a loading bed, said system comprising:
- a loading platform, a lift support structure with a lift actuator for raising and lowering said loading platform between lower and upper end positions and further a tilt structure with a tilt actuator for pivoting said loading platform from a horizontal to a vertical position and vice versa and a single releasable locking means for locking said loading platform in its upper end position level with, and directly to, the loading bed of a vehicle, and also for releasably locking said loading platform in said vertical position.
