Carry An ATV On Trailer Hitch
 ✖  |
Using your pickup to haul heavy loads is easy with this new electric-powered "lift and go" platform that mounts in a receiver hitch. It can be used to haul everything from ATV's and garden tractors to rototillers, snowblowers, lawn mowers and more.
The platform attaches to a vertical lift post fitted with an electric screw actuator that raises and lowers the platform. The motor is activated by either a toggle switch control or an optional push button remote control. Nylon straps that attach to tie-down slots on the platform are used to secure the load.
To operate the unit, you lower the platform to the ground and load the object onto it, then use nylon straps to secure the load and raise the platform.
"It takes all the hassle out of using ramps and is also much safer to use," says Brian Wise, Hitch Things, Inc., Chambersburg, Pa. "In many cases it will also eliminate the need for a trailer."
Two models are available - one with 400-lb. capacity and the other 800 lbs. The 800-lb. capacity model sells for $675. A variety of different platforms are available starting at $170.
