Abstract
A cargo lift for receipt by a receiver hitch according to one embodiment of the invention comprises a frame, a platform, a scissor lift mechanism, an actuator, a pair of pivot mechanisms, a pair of sliding guide members, a probe connector, and a cross bar. The scissor lift mechanism is positioned between the frame and the platform and is provided with the actuator. The pair of pivot mechanisms raises and lower the frame between ground level and receiver hitch level while maintaining the platform in a horizontal position. The pair of sliding guide members extends alongside the frame and attaches the frame to the pivot mechanisms. The probe connector is for a receiver hitch for carrying the cargo lift by a vehicle. The cross-bar is for attaching the pair of pivot mechanisms to the probe connector.
