Abstract
A vehicle has a steerable subframe articulated to the remainder of the vehicle, a set of lifting forks projecting forwardly from the subframe and supported thereon by a linkage permitting lifting, tilting and lateral movement of the forks, and a counterweight balancing a load carried by the forks across the subframe, the counterweight projecting rearwardly from the subframe beneath the remainder of the vehicle. Interchangeable units are engageable with the forks to transport thereby to a worksite, such as pallet units, a work platform, a crane and a cable dispenser.
