Abstract
Loading equipment which is suitable for loading exchange platforms of two different platform frame widths onto a truck chassis or dumper frame and for unloading the exchange platforms from same. The loading equipment comprises a locking mechanism for securing the exchange platform onto the frame of the loading equipment automatically in connection with the pulling-on step of the exchange platform. The rollers at the rear end of the truck are wide enough that the inner ends of the rollers are suitable for a rolling base of the frame beams of exchange platforms with narrow platform frame width and the outer ends of the rollers are suitable for a rolling base of the frame beams of exchange platforms with wide platform frame width. The platform locking mechanism of the loading equipment is located in the center planes perpendicular to the rolling surfaces, i.e. cylinder faces, of the rollers in the rear part of the truck, whereby the locking mechanism is outside the frame beams of exchange platforms with narrow platform frame width but inside the frame beams of exchange platforms with wide platform frame width, i.e. between the frame beams.
