Sounds like what I would call a fork lift. Many years ago, there was a British comedy duo, Flanders and Swan. I have no doubt that many of you will remember them with some fondness, for, unlike some other * comedians, they, really, were funny; well, to be, absolutely, correct, it was Michael Flanders who was the comedian, while Donald Swan tinkled along on the old joanna. In one of their skits, Flanders who used a wheelchair was saying that when he boarded a plane, he and the chair were loaded onto the forklift that was used to lift goods into the aircraft and he couldn't understand why it needed such a huge machine for this purpose given that the forks provided with one's * tasty cardboard meal were made of plastic.
