Abstract
A vehicle-mounted loader has a loading apparatus disposed centrally at the front end of the vehicle frame and including a raising cylinder supported on the front end, a dumping beam and quick-change device. The quick-change device is pivotally connected by a dumping rod to the dumping beam which can be actuated by a dumping cylinder. To reduce tipping torque about a transverse axis of the vehicle, the vehicle end of the raising arm is accommodated in a channel-like, forwardly open recess in the front end of the frame. The dumping cylinder is also articulated to the front end of the frame. The raising arm is constructed as a narrow component so that when the arm together with the quick-change device is in a completely lowered position it will be accommodated between the front wheels of the vehicle while, as seen from the side, only the quick-change device will slightly downwardly project out of the space between the front wheels.
