A lift (10) attachable to a vehicle comprises a base assembly (12), a platform assembly (14) for handling load, and a linkage assembly (16) for moving the platform assembly (14). The platform assembly (14) comprises a proximal platform (22) closest to the link assembly (16) and a distal platform (24) remote from the link assembly (16). The proximal and distal platforms (22；24) are pivotally connected to one another by a hinge (84) at the distal end of the proximal platform (22) and the proximal end of the distal platform (24). The platform assembly (14) is movable between a folded position in which the platforms (22；24) are folded about the hinge (84) and an unfolded position in which the proximal and distal platforms (22；24) are unfolded. The lift (10) further comprises a fold assembly (48) for moving the platform assembly (14) between the unfolded and folded configurations.
