ARTICULATING HITCH LIFT SYSTEM

摘要

The present application includes a system and method of loading and transporting objects in remote areas. The system includes a hitch mount to engage a receiver on a vehicle. A lift arm is pivotally coupled to the hitch mount and is configured to operate between a first position and a second position through the use of a lifting member. The lifting member is optionally motorized and may receive energy through a connector in communication with the vehicle or receive energy through a battery associated with the lifting member. By articulating the lift arm, the attachment member is lowered to ground level to permit loading without needing to lift the object and raised for safe transportation. The weight of the system and any contents are carried by the vehicle directly through the receiver.

主权项

1. An articulating hitch lift system, comprising:
a hitch mount configured to releasably couple to a receiver, the receiver being mounted to a vehicle; a lift arm pivotally coupled to the hitch and configured to transition between a first orientation and a second orientation; a lifting member in communication with the hitch member and the lift arm; the lifting member configured to articulate the lift arm between the first orientation and the second orientation; and an attachment member coupled to the lift arm and configured to selectively secure one or more contents for transportation by the vehicle.
