Abstract

A fork lift truck loading mechanism mounted on a chassis of a movable truck for loading a self-propelled fork lift truck by connection to the forks of the fork lift truck so as to hold the fork lift truck and turning of the forks together with the fork lift truck onto a bed of the truck. The fork lift truck loading mechanism comprises a holding arrangement which is supported by the chassis of the truck so as to be movable therewith and turned from substantially a horizontal position to a substantially perpendicular or forwardly inclined position so as to hold the forks of the fork lift truck, and a rotary drive interposed between the truck and the holding arrangement for turning the holding arrangement.
