Abstract: An unloading apparatus for unloading a load contained in a tray of a load carrying vehicle having a transporter adapted to releasably receive the tray, the unloading apparatus comprising a rotator having a support surface for parking of the load carrying vehicle according to the second aspect of the invention, and a plurality of frames arranged in a spaced apart relationship with respect to each other along the support surface, the frames being adapted to secure the tray to the rotator and lifting the tray from the transporter, and means for rotating the rotator about the longitudinal axis of the tray for unloading of the load. There is also provide a load carrying vehicle including a transporter and a tray releasably attached to the transporter as well as a system and method from loading load from a first location into the tray and unloading the load at a second location using the unloading apparatus.

Abstract: A tow vehicle comprising a chassis and means for towing a vehicle or trailer attached to the chassis, the means for towing comprising a tow arm adapted to receive the vehicle to be towed, and a hitch attached to the chassis of the tow vehicle, wherein the tow arm is adapted to provide access to the hitch to allow attachment of the trailer to be towed to the hitch.

Abstract: A load carrying vehicle body with a chassis is provided which has a forward support and a rearward support, and which is able to accommodate a load. The rearward support includes a pair of support members each with at least one wheel mounted to one side of a support member. The support members are movable on the chassis between a first position at which the wheels are located within the tracking width of the vehicle and at which the wheels are aligned with the direction of travel of the vehicle, and a second position at which the wheels are displaced laterally from the tracking width to provide access to the rear of the chassis. A first lock is provided between the support members which is able to be interengaged when the support members are in the first position to maintain the wheels in the first position and to enable the support members to cooperate with each other in accommodating the stresses and load exerted thereon when in the first position.
