Abstract: A pass through forklift-type vehicle for picking up large cylindrical or round bales of hay while the vehicle is moving, and discharging the bales at a preselected location while the vehicle is moving. The vehicle comprises a frame having a longitudinally extending open-ended tunnel therein and a pair of spaced mutually parallel lifting rails secured longitudinally in the tunnel and extending beyond both ends thereof. Each rail is operably connected with a respective pair of vehicle wheels whereby the rails and housing may be alternately raised to a position adjacent the surface of the ground and elevated to a position spaced above the ground. In the lowered position of the rails, the rails may be utilized for engaging the opposite sides of a hay bale, and the rails and hay bale engaged thereby may be simultaneously raised for supporting the bale in an elevated position as the vehicle moves across the surface of the ground.
