ABSTRACT:
An automobile portable hauler comprising means for transporting supplies and equipment by the use of a conventional automobile on the exterior of the vehicle by the uses of brackets that are collapsible, are space savers and are easily assembled and adapted to the vehicle. There are 2 U-shaped members that are adapted to fit over the door when the window of the vehicle is open and in a down position. The U-shaped members are connected to a horizontal main member. Fastened to the main member at each end thereto is a bracket having a means for extending the main member longitudinally, a perpendicular extension in the same plane as the main member and extending forward from the door of the vehicle, and an extension member of said vertical extension to said plane of said vertical extension and parallel to the vertical section of the U-shaped member, whereby a cradle is formed at both ends of the main member to support and carry lengths of lumber, pipes, girders and other such items. The U-shaped members are longer on the outside of the door and are of such shape and configuration that they are inserted within an intermediary section whereby they may be adjusted higher or lower, and whereby they may be engaged or disengaged for easily assembly or disassembly. So also the main body extensions are of such configuration that they are easily inserted into the main body member and can be extended within limits for change of size adjustment and for easily disassembly.
