Filed:

Jan 26, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/014160

Inventors:

Brad Robinson - Henderson NV, US

International Classification:

B60P 3/073

US Classification:

414462

Abstract:

An automated lift hauler configured for attachment to a vehicle frame near a rear of the vehicle. When not in use, the lift hauler is substantially concealed beneath the vehicle. During use, the lift hauler extends from beneath the vehicle such that large items may be supported by a lift hauler platform. One or more hydraulically-driven pistons move the lift hauler from a concealed position beneath the vehicle to a use position rearward of the vehicle. The lift hauler comprises a series of frame members and utilizes a scissor design to facilitate movement between a lower position, which allows large items to be loaded on a lift hauler platform, to a raised position which allows the large items to restrained and transported. Operating the lift hauler may be accomplished using a remote control or in-cab control panel or mounted control panel near the rear of the vehicle.

International Classification:

Abstract:

An automated lift hauler configured for attachment to a vehicle frame near a rear of the vehicle. When not in use, the lift hauler is substantially concealed beneath the vehicle. During use, the lift hauler extends from beneath the vehicle such that large items may be supported by a lift hauler platform. A single piston integrated into an upper frame assembly drives a mounted, slidable bracket which moves the lift hauler from protracted position to retracted position and vice versa. The mounted, slidable bracket slides thereby moving two pairs of link arms in a scissor motion to raise and lower a lower frame assembly relative to an upper frame assembly. The lift hauler includes a series of frame members and utilizes a scissor design. Operating the lift hauler may be accomplished using a remote control or in-cab control panel or mounted control panel near the rear of the vehicle.
