Abstract: A load carrying and tipping vehicle (11) adapted to be coupled to a power-operable vertically movable part (15) of a motor vehicle (13) such as a front end loader in which case the bucket of the front end loader constitutes the vertically movable part. The load carrying and tipping vehicle (11) has a load carrying portion (21) which is supported on two wheels (29) and which is tippable in a vertical plane parallel to the direction of travel of the vehicle (11). A coupling mechanism (41) is provided for detachably coupling one end (25) the load carrying portion to the bucket (15) of the front end loader whereby raising of the bucket (15) effects tipping of the load carrying portion (21). The coupling mechanism (41) provides a pivotal connection between the bucket (15) and the load carrying portion (21) about a first pivot axis (48) which is substantially horizontal and transverse to the direction of travel of the vehicle (11).
