ABSTRACT:
A device for loading cargo into the cargo bay area of mini-vans and similar vehicles comprises a frame, a winch, and a cart. The frame is disposed partially in the cargo bay area of the vehicle and extends outside the vehicle therefrom. The frame is anchored inside the vehicle by removably attaching to anchor rods in the floor of the vehicle that normally hold the rear and/or middle seats in place. The frame defines a pathway on which the cart can travel, pulled by the winch. The frame is collapsible and stowable in the vehicle. The cart comprises a base, a collapsible handle, and, optionally, an extensible ramp, enabling use of the cargo loader with a motorized personal vehicle such as is used by disabled persons. The winch is powered, optionally, both by a motor and manually.
