Abstract
An overhead lift assist system enables cargo to be loaded on a utility terrain vehicle and includes a frame, a plurality of rollers, and a cable. The frame is couplable above a cab of the utility terrain vehicle and includes a plurality of rollers disposed along a longitudinal axis. The cable includes a first end positioned at a front portion of the utility terrain vehicle and a second end terminating in a loading connector. The cable has a length great enough to extend past a rear portion of the utility terrain vehicle. A winch is operable to selectively retract the cable to load cargo on the utility terrain vehicle.
