Abstract
A combination workbench and unloading platform having a lower frame having a center bar supported by a vehicle hitch in front and a rear cross bar supported by two rear legs and being foldable by connecting its members with hinges and having sleeves with removable pins for erection. An upper rectangular frame is supported on the lower frame by risers. Upper frame side bars are offset below the level of front and rear cross bars and having slideable sleeves along each offset portion. Movable work support cross bars are supported for sliding and rotation on the offset portions allowing them to be moved to desired positions and angles or individually removed. The upper frame and support cross bars form a level support for a workpiece such as a plywood sheet and the support cross bars may be adjusted allowing sawing at desired angles while held by a gravity swivel clamp.
