The invention concerns a vehicle equipped with a lifting device (10) configured to move an object (O) from the ground to the interior of the vehicle and vice versa, said lifting device (10) comprising a fixed frame (2), a platform (3) movable with respect to said frame (2), a guiding means (4) for movement of said platform (3) with respect to said frame (2), a locking means (6) of said platform in the high position. This vehicle is remarkable in that the guiding means ensures the translation of the platform (3) and in that it comprises: - at least one locking means (7) of said platform in the low position, - at least one device with elastic deformation (5), connecting the frame (2) to said movable platform (3) and configured to accumulate during the downward movement of the platform (3), the potential energy of the gravitational field provided by at least one operator and/or by the object (O) placed on the platform (3) when it is in the high position, and to restore this potential energy to said platform (3), to ensure, in whole or in part, its upward movement.
