DEFINITION

Classification: 280/47.27

(under subclass 47.24) Vehicles having means usually referred to as a toe, extending from the lower part of the vehicle frame at an angle relative thereto to form a projecting load engaging or load stop part which is adapted, when the vehicle frame is tilted to a loading position, to engage or be brought closely to the surface on which the vehicle travels so as to enable said part to be pushed beneath a load to facilitate manual lifting and tilting of the load about the axis of the wheels.

(1) Note. Most of the patents in this and the indented subclasses comprise vehicles of the well known "Warehouse Truck" type.
