Intertitles

Equally adaptable to a lorry chassis. Dual purpose vehicle transporter or lorry. The pick a back can also be used for loading and unloading an ordinary lorry by backing them together and the load transferred from one to the other. This can be especially useful at agricultural shows, machinery exhibitions etc. One man can move the heaviest load with the utmost ease and confidence of being master of the job. Simple safe and sure. Reduced insurance costs. A jib for use in conjunction with the winch can be supplied. Easy to assemble and useful for say lifting a motor vehicle out of a ditch or a machine tool out of a basement.
