The rear wheels, which are larger, are the drive wheels and are also mounted directly on the main frame. A second framework is incorporated in the truck by means of a linkage system so that when the truck platform is placed under the loaded skid and power is applied to the lifting mechanism, the platform ... raises the skid and the load from the floor and holds it in this position for transportation.
