DEFINITION

Classification: 254/2

HOISTING TRUCK:

(under the class definition) Wheeled hoists comprising a truck platform or equivalent load support and mechanism for raising and lowering the load support. Those in which the load support is raised or lowered by mere adjustment of the wheels, as by the movement of legs or levers on which the wheels are mounted, are excluded, also those having means for elevating one part of the vehicle body relative to another for the purpose of dumping or leveling.

(1) Note. Vehicles for transporting the load while it is suspended from a hoisting means are classified, according to the hoisting structure, either in appropriate structural subclasses elsewhere in this class or in Class 212, Traversing Hoists.

(2) Note. Wheeled hoists classifiable in this class and falling in this group on disclosure have been placed here whether the wheels are claimed or not.

(3) Note. See search notes below for wheeled structures in which a raising or lowering is obtained by mere adjustment of the wheels relative to the vehicle frame or other supported structure.
