ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a cargo loading apparatus for loading a cargo disposed on a first level onto a deck disposed on a second level generally above the first level, the deck having a cargo supporting surface and an end. The cargo loading apparatus includes a platform with a cargo supporting surface for supporting the cargo to be loaded onto the deck, a base which is hingedly connected to the platform, and means for pulling the base and the platform connected thereto onto the cargo supporting surface of the deck. The base is of a sufficient size such that the base and the platform are positionable in an initial loading position wherein the platform is supported generally on the first level and the base extends from the platform generally toward the deck to a position wherein the end of the base is disposed generally above the second level and a portion of the base engages the end of the platform. The base cooperates to raise the platform from the first level to the second level and subsequently onto the cargo supporting surface of the deck as the base and the platform connected are pulled onto the cargo supporting surface of the deck.
