The invention includes a lift apparatus for supporting an object in the proximity of a vehicle traversing a terrain. The lift apparatus includes a mounting plate that is mounted to the vehicle, and a platform to support and carry the object. The lift apparatus also includes an arm assembly having a pair of parallel gear arms. The arm assembly is pivotally connected to the mounting plate at an upper end of the arm assembly, and is pivotally connected to the platform at a lower end of the arm assembly. A drive motor assembly is mounted to the mounting plate and is laterally offset from the gear arms. A link extends between the drive motor assembly and one of the gear arms to rotate the gear arms about their upper ends, thereby raising the platform.
