Lifts for cargo carrying vehicles (e.g. trucks) and methods of lifting objects associated with such vehicles. The lift may include a deployment mechanism, a lift mechanism, and a lift deck. The deployment mechanism couples to the frame of the vehicle and deploys the lift mechanism to a position adjacent to the vehicle where the lift mechanism lifts the lift deck to a position that is substantially above the a cargo support surface of the vehicle. Preferably, the lift mechanism includes a pneumatic actuator sized to extend the lift mechanism about 84.'' A housing may also be provided on the vehicle for the lift. In one embodiment, the deployment mechanism is a slide mechanism and the lift mechanism is a scissor mechanism. A support bracket may be included to support the deployed lift mechanism. Additionally, a handrail may be provided on the lift deck.
