ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this invention is to carry two ATVs on a short bed pickup. The platform is designed so that each ATV straddles a side of the bed. ATVs rest almost 10 inches lower than most ATV racks for lower center of gravity and added stability. The wheels drop into an opening that restricts movement from front to back and from left to right. One person can assemble the parts by themselves. ATVs can be driven onto support platform on back of truck on a ramp angled at approximately 30 degrees. Wind resistance is reduced because ATVs are facing forward. Driver can still see behind vehicle through rear view mirror because of space between ATVs. Platform design allows for storage underneath the ATVs. Parts can be integrated for storage in a space approximately 102″ long, 24″ high, and 24″ deep.
