Abstract: This invention relates to a vehicle cargo lift having a bed (9) having posts (10) parallel to each other extending from the bed (9), a support frame (2) having two opposed side frames forming a well therebetween to accommodate the bed (9), at least one hollow elongated member (7) located in each side frame, drive devices (8) to move the bed (9) between a raised transport position and a ground engaging loading positions such that the bed (9) retains substantially the same orientation throughout its movement between the transport position and the loading position with the hollow elongated members (7) being telescopically engaged with respective posts (10) of the bed (9).

Abstract: An improved self-powered or non-powered vehicle having a bed which is moveable between a transport position and a ground engaging loading position and in particular to a wheel assembly for such a vehicle. In one broad form the wheel assembly is connected to a u-shaped chassis, having two arms extending to the rear of the vehicle forming an opening therebetween. A trailing arm is pivotally suspended from a first end to one arm of the u-shaped chassis such that its other end extends towards the rear of the chassis. A wheel stub axle mounting is located at or adjacent to the other end of the trailing arm. A connection member is pivotally connected at one end to the trailing arm adjacent to the wheel stub axle mounting. A first bracket is pivotally connected to the other end of the connection member. A leaf spring is connected at or adjacent its middle to the first bracket.
