A device for loading and unloading a spare wheel (R) of a vehicle comprises an actuating device (20) which can be operated for moving a flexible cable (C) between a lifted wheel position and a lowered wheel position. A support (105) anchored to the wheel (R) is elastically suspended to a supporting rod (14) carried by the flexible cable (C). When the flexible cable (C) reaches its lifted wheel position, the weight of the wheel (R) is discharged, through the supporting rod (14), on a bracket (16) secured to the vehicle structure. The bracket (16) is provided with an axially fixed bush (24), through which the supporting rod (14) moves following actuation of the flexible cable (C). The rod has a lateral surface provided with projections (141) adapted to pass through guiding passages (244) on the inner surface of said bush (24) during movement of the flexible cable (C). The projections (141) come out from above the bush (24) during the final portion of the lifting travel of the flexible cable (C). The supporting rod (14) and the bush (24) have respective cam surfaces (247, 142, 143) which come into engagement with each other during the final lifting stage of the flexible cable (C) so as to cause the bush (24) to rotate relative to the supporting rod (14) towards a position in which, following a subsequent lowering of the flexible cable (C), the above mentioned projections (141) are adapted to rest on seats (246) provided on the upper end surface of the bush (24) so as to discharge the weight of the wheel (R) through the rod (14) and the bush (24), on the above mentioned bracket (16) secured to the vehicle structure.
