Abstract
A motor vehicle, including: a loading floor; a height adjusting device with a guide on which the loading floor is pivotably mounted and movable in a substantially vertical direction and can be mounted in at least two height positions; one or more tiered support elements for supporting the loading floor in the at least two height positions; where the guide includes a first guideway for moving the floor towards the top of the guide and a second guideway for moving the floor towards the bottom of the guide; where the first guideway is configured such that exerting a backward longitudinal pulling force on the loading floor results in movement of the loading floor from a lower height position to an upper height position; and a set of corresponding features positioned beneath the loading floor for providing physical support and stability in the at least two height positions.
