Such support arms on each side of the attachment are provided to attach the frame members together in the extended position. A load securing cross member is secured at one end to the center of the first frame member and at its opposite end to the center of the rear frame member. A hoist mechanism may be attached to one end of the first frame member rotatable on the support about a vertical axis and pivotable thereon in a vertical plane.
