The invention relates to a loading device for agricultural goods to be transported, in particular for bulk goods, having a shovel device (10) comprising, in order to form a loading space, a loading floor (16) having a front loading edge (19) and two side walls (12, 14) laterally adjacent thereto and a rear wall (18) designed as a pusher plate, which is displaceably guided at the opposite side walls (12, 14) between an initial position opposite the loading edge (19) and an unloading position facing the loading edge (19) by means of a sliding mechanism (30), comprising at least two hydraulic cylinders (32, 34) that are aligned substantially parallel to the loading floor (18) and are coupled directly to each other by means of the cylinder segments thereof, said cylinders being aligned opposite to each other, wherein the piston rod (36) of one hydraulic cylinder (32) is coupled to a support frame (46) and the piston rod (38) of the other hydraulic cylinder (34) is coupled to a side of the rear wall (18) facing away from the loading floor (16).
