ABSTRACT:
The loader and carrier apparatus for boat and trailer includes a support framework having two side rail members with stake pocket engaging stubs and a front lower cross member, formed to lay atop and be supported only by the side and front walls of the pickup box. A front top cross member is supported above the front lower cross member. Two rear cross members extend across the pickup box between the side rail members. A guide rail is centrally attached to the rearmost cross member, and extends upward and forward to a central attachment at the front top cross member. A forward support platform is attached to the front end of the guide rail and extends horizontally forward a limited distance to provide for transition between trailer tongue supporting rollers. A first horizontal roller assembly is mounted on, and extends downward from, the trailer tongue, to engage the guide rail and forward support platform. A second horizontal roller assembly is mounted upon the guide rail at its forward, upper end, and is positioned to support the tongue of the trailer when the first horizontal roller assembly is not engaged upon the guide rail or platform. A lateral guide assembly, mounted on the platform, limits lateral movement of the tongue. Detachable ramp assemblies extend from inclined wheel rests to the ground. A guide rail extension extends rearward and downward from the guide rail. A winch assembly utilizes a cable fed through a longitudinal slot in the guide rail for attachment to the trailer.
