A robotic vehicle 100 includes a body 102 defining a platform support area 106; a lift shuttle 108 moveable relative to the body, the lift shuttle including a first fork 112 and a second fork 114. The lift shuttle moves from a first position (fig. 1) to a second position (fig. 2) relative to the body to cause the first fork and the second fork to protrude relative to the body. The first and second fork then lift a platform 116 and the body of the vehicle moves toward the platform when the first and second fork are protruded to position the platform support area under the platform.
