The linkage assembly further includes an elongated link member having a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end spaced apart from the first longitudinal end by a length greater than the first distance. The first longitudinal end is pivotally coupled to the lateral sidewall at the pivot attachment point and the second longitudinal end is attached to the hoist chain.
