ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for a hoist system for a vehicle is provided. The hoist system includes a support frame mounted to the vehicle. A slidably extendable pair of parallel rails are mounted to the support frame. The front ends and the tail ends of the parallel rails can be connected. A crossbeam that supports a hoist mechanism is slidably suspended from the pair of rails. The support frame can be collapsibly hinged for transport. The support frame is mounted to the vehicle, at a height above the cab of the vehicle or alternatively incorporated into the ladder rack of the vehicle. The hoist system is light-in-weight with a versatile support frame that can transfer heavy and swinging or shifting loads. The hoist system is also heavy-duty and has an extended and side-to-side reach.
