DEVICE FOR LOADING LOADS

Devices for lifting loads into vehicles are already known. These are attached to a truck as a hydraulic lift platform or comprise a platform or gripper arms for lifting heavy loads and containers. However, a space-saving device for lifting and holding multiple loads has not yet been known from the literature. [0002] The present invention makes it possible to simultaneously lift multiple loads using two platforms and to stow and transport them one above the other. This is achieved in that the two platforms can be raised and lowered in two positions between the ground and the vehicle floor. In an upper position, the platforms are spaced one above the other, whereas in a lower position the platforms form a common plane.
