ABSTRACT:
An article handling device for attachment to the rear of a pickup truck including a rigid main frame having arms separated by a cross member and all lying in substantially the same plane. The cross member has rigidly attached at approximately 90 degrees thereto a leverage pole to rotate the main frame when it is hingedly supported on a bumper mounting base. A floating spear type axle for retaining an article on the main frame is attached thereto near the outer end of each arm by a flexible movement limiting tether. The floating axle when penetrating and thereby retaining an article such as a round bale allows the bale to shift downwardly and rest on the main frame preventing transit damage especially to loosely packed or soft core bales.
