A first end of a support arm is pivotably connected to a second end of the lifting arm, and the support arm is pivotably mounted with respect to the lifting arm to facilitate loading and unloading of the delivery vehicle.

The invention relates to a method for assisting a driver of a vehicle/trailer combination (1) having a motor vehicle (2) and a trailer (4) in maneuvering the vehicle/trailer combination (1), wherein image data of a rear environmental region (12) of the vehicle/trailer combination (1) is captured by means of a rearward looking vehicle-side camera (6) and/or a rearward looking trailer-side camera (7), an image (B) of the rear environmental region (12) is created depending on the captured image data and displayed on a vehicle-side display device (14), wherein a position (20) of a part (15) of the trailer (4) movable between a stowage position and a use position is determined in the image (B), which is occupied by the part (15) by moving the part (15) from the stowage position into the use position increasing at least one geometric dimension (19) of the trailer (4), and a mark (M1) is displayed in this position (20) in the image (B) on the display device (14). The invention additionally relates to a driver assistance system (5) as well as to a motor vehicle (2).

A loading arrangement for loading and unloading load units on and/or off a vehicle comprises a frame, wherein said frame has first and second ends and to be fastened to the vehicle in a detachable manner. The arrangement comprises also a transferring device for catching and transferring the load unit on and/or off the vehicle, said transferring device comprising a gripping point to be gripped by a hook system of the vehicle and a catching device for catching said load unit and for transferring it on or off the vehicle, when the transferring device is operated by said hook system of the vehicle. The frame comprises a dock, which is arranged in the first end of the frame and wherein the dock comprises a receiving portion for receiving the transferring device for at least loading and unloading said frame on and/or off the vehicle by the transferring device when said transferring device is operated by a hook system of the vehicle.

A loading/unloading device for delivering an item(s) to be delivered. The loading/unloading device includes an outer nested track; an inner nested track nested within the outer nested track; a curved generally U-shaped guide track nested within the inner nested track; and a movable trolley accommodated and movable along the curved generally U-shaped guide track. A drive motor being is supported by a first end of the curved generally U-shaped guide track for conveying the movable trolley back and forth along the curved generally U-shaped guide track for loading and unloading the item(s) to be delivered. A delivery vehicle, including at least one loading/unloading device for delivering the item(s) to be delivered, is also disclosed.

Disclosed is a piece goods box having at least one piece goods chamber for receiving at least one piece goods item.
