The ramp (24) extends to the rear of the body and terminates in a ground engagable edge (28). There are actuating means (30) for pivotally moving the ramp (24) between a horizontal position and a lowered position where the edge (28) engages the ground. In use, a wheelchair (32) can be manoeuvred immediately behind the body for wheeling up the ramp (24) when in the lowered position and can be transported on the ramp when in the horizontal position. 16/05/08~j9 10 I-,( ( I) ~L-3J Z5-4
