A cargo transporting apparatus includes a flatbed portion and a dovetail portion connected by a hinge. A hinge actuating mechanism includes first and second rigid linkages, the first longitudinal ends of which are connected by a first pivot, and the second longitudinal ends of which, respectively, are pivotably connected to the flatbed portion at a second pivot and the dovetail portion at a third pivot. A linear actuator is connected between one of the rigid linkages and either the flatbed portion or the dovetail portion. In a retracted position, the linear actuator causes the first pivot to be positioned above a line between the second and third pivots and raising of the dovetail portion. In an extended position, the linear actuator causes the first pivot to be positioned below a line between the second and third pivots and lowering of the dovetail portion.
