A pivotable loading system for a vehicle, such a recovery vehicle or tow truck. The loading system comprises a loading frame 100, which may pivot with respect to a base unit 18 about a hinge 20. The loading frame is made up of two parts, a tipping sub-frame 110, and a platform 120, onto which a vehicle may be loaded. The sub-frame 110 and platform 120 are connected to one another by a pivotable platform coupling 170. The sub-frame 110 and platform 120 are each connected to respective first and second actuators, 130, 140, which meet at the at a pivotable actuator coupling 150, connecting the two actuators. These actuators may be used to slide the platform 120 along the tipping subframe until the pivotable platform coupling 170 is aligned with the pivotable actuator coupling 150, then moving two pivotable couplings 170, 150 together towards the tail end of the tipping sub-frame 110. The actuators may comprise hydraulic cylinders.
