A hoist includes is removably attachable to a vehicle hitch and includes a connector member and a first locking plate for adjustably connecting a base member to the connector member. The locking plate allows the connector portion to be selectively rotated in a first plane. The hoist further includes a boom pivotally connected to the connector member for allowing the boom to be pivoted in a second plane substantially perpendicular to the first plane. The hoist further includes a winch for pivoting the boom along the second plane. Alternately, a piston may pivot the boom along the second plane. A lifting member is removably connectable to the boom and for transporting an object from a first location to a second location. In an alternate embodiment, the hoist may include a manually or hydraulically operated winch for controlling the lifting member.
