Abstract
A load handling and transporting vehicle is provided with a load handling apparatus movable from a compact low profile position to an extended position. The load handling apparatus has a main lift beam pivotally connected to a link and control beam. A second link connects the control beam to the frame. Piston and cylinder assemblies connected to the main lift beam and frame operate to move the main lift beam, links, and control beam from adjacent nested positions to extended positions. A cargo container carrier is mounted on a third link pivotally connected to the forward ends of the main lift beam and control beams.
