This invention relates to the field of devices used at the rear of a vehicle to carry accessories, such as bicycles, motorcycles, wheelchairs, electric carts, lawn care and construction equipment and a wide variety of other items that will not fit within the confines of the vehicle. It is directed to a vehicle accessory hoist providing a high strength, multipurpose compact device that will raise or lower an accessory carrier inserted into one or more universal hoist receivers to an elevated position keeping the centerline of the receivers horizontal at all times and can be easily removed from one vehicle and installed on another. The vehicle accessory hoist has a pair of primary support arms along with a pair of secondary support arms that are parallel mounted on a device frame and inclined equally, or otherwise, to their apex where they attach to a hoist receiver unit and are actuated by one or more actuating mechanisms. The hoist receiver is the same configuration as the conventional trailer hitch receiver used on vehicles allowing it to be used for a variety of existing accessory carriers which are readily available in worldwide commercial markets.
