Abstract: The pull and lift system for transporting roofing materials includes a pull bar upon a flat bed of a truck, two rams connecting to the pull bar, controls for the rams, two pairs of mutually spaced apart legs, a table connecting between the pairs of legs, at least one ram connecting to the table, and controls for this ram. The first controls engage the pull bar against a pallet then draw it towards the table. The pull bar has an L shaped cross section with the lower portion sliding upon the flat bed and the upper portion engaging a pallet. The table has a first position coplanar with the flat bed and a second position above the flat bed and proximate a conveyor. The table elevates, while loaded with cargo, and remains level during its transition from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: A conveyor system includes an extension section that slides inwardly and telescopes outwardly of a main section of conveyor. The extension motion is powered by at least one hydraulic ram. The conveyor has a stem that lowers to a loadable height by the retraction of double hydraulic rams upon a steel internal core. The conveyor then lifts vertically in a cantilevered manner upon a vertical ram and then rotates 360 degrees parallel to the plane of a truck bed using a cooperating gear plate and a hydraulic motor with a chain. Paddles push material secured to a chain drive or alternately a belt and the chain drive or belt moves through a series of sprockets or rollers in a continuous manner. The paddles eventually return to their initial location.

Abstract: The pull and lift system of the present invention transfers roofing materials from the pullbar extended position 14, FIG. 1, located at the headboard 1a of a truck bed to the lift table 6 shown in FIG. 1, by hydraulic rams 8, FIG. 1. The pull and lift system raises roofing material via the lift table 6 so as to eliminate excessive bending by the person picking up said material, by hydraulic rams 9, shown in FIG. 4.
