A load wheel is connected to the load platform and an intermediate load wheel is connected to the vehicle and positioned between the drive wheel and the load wheel. The load wheel is configured to facilitate moving the load platform between the lowered position and the lifted position and the intermediate load wheel is configured to cooperate with the load wheel to facilitate moving the load platform between the lowered position and the lifted position. The intermediate load wheel is also configured to form a pivot about which the vehicle turns throughout a range of motion of the load platform between and including the lowered position and the lifted position.
