A vehicle for transporting bulk goods has a chassis, and a freight tub interconnected and movable between a lowered position, and a tipping position. Telescopic hydraulic cylinders are interconnected with the freight tub and are pivotable relative to the freight tub. A linkage mechanism has arms that each have a first end that is connected to the chassis, and a second end that supports the telescopic hydraulic cylinders. The linkage mechanism is movable between a stowed position in which the second ends are raised from the ground surface beneath the vehicle, and deployed positions in which the second ends are closer to the ground surface. When the freight tub is in the lowered position, and the linkage mechanism is in its stowed position, the telescopic hydraulic cylinders are at their shortest lengths. When the freight tub is pivoted upwards from the lowered position, the weight of the freight tub that is carried by the telescopic hydraulic cylinders is transferred through at least part of the linkage mechanism.
