A deployment apparatus from a side edge of a platform 5 has a cradle 3a-c suspended from a cross-bar 2c of a lifting frame 2a,3b moved by hydraulic rams 4a,4b attached to a base frame 1a,1b on the platform 5. A spreader beam 6a,6b can be pivotably connected to the cross-bar 2c with four cables 7a-d connecting it to the cradle, the pivotability and gravity maintaining the cradle orientation and the cables giving clearance for the load beneath the cross-bar 2c. The system can deploy a highway cleaning or maintenance auxiliary vehicle from a truck or trailer; or be used in stationary situations in warehouses, car parks or factories for stacking cars or moving heavy machinery.
