ABSTRACT:
A support arm device is taught for the loading and unloading of equipment on and off a truck bed. The support arm functions like a lever and has wheels at one end and connectors at the other end for coupling to the equipment or to a carrier for the equipment. The support arm is easily mechanically adjustable from vertical to horizontal and vice versa. The wheel end of the support arm is lifted onto a truck tailgate, thus creating a desired axis of balance for the equipment to be loaded. A person acting alone and manually loading the equipment onto the truck bed then only has to apply a less vigorous and less awkward lifting force to the opposite end of the equipment to successfully load it into or onto the truck bed. The invention includes combinations of the support arm with a carrier used with the support arm and also a combination with a support member situated vertically atop the rear end of the carrier.
