1. A lift mechanism (130) for an associated cargo carrier (110) comprising:
a rail (140, 150) configured for sliding movement between a first position received within a footprint of the carrier and a second position extended outwardly from the carrier footprint; a leg assembly (160, 162) configured for extending movement between a first position received in the rail (140, 150) and a second position extending outwardly from the rail wherein when the rail and leg assembly are in the respective first positions the leg assembly is stored along the carrier, and when the rail and leg assembly are in the respective second positions, the leg assembly supports the cargo carrier; a drive arrangement (200-214) for selectively raising and lowering the leg assembly between the first and second positions to raise and lower the cargo carrier; and wherein the leg assembly includes first and second legs (160, 162), one of the first and second legs (160, 162) includes first and second leg portions (160a, 160b) that articulate relative to one another, and wherein the carrier (110) is configured to tilt relative to horizontal by selectively disconnecting one of the first and second leg portions (160a, 160b) from the drive arrangement (200-214) and driving the remaining leg portion for articulating action relative to the other leg portion. |
