ABSTRACT:
A carrier-platform device mountable on a utility vehicle. The carrier-platform device includes a frame attached to a standard, front-end snowplow-receiving bracket and a platform attached to the frame. The platform has three degrees of movement. The platform is pivotable from a vertical storage position to a horizontal deployed position. In the deployed position, the platform is further extendable so as to adjust the overall width of the carrier-platform device. The platform is still further adjustable in that the platform is able to be tilted in a ramp-like manner towards the ground. This arrangement allows an item such as an ATV or snowblower to be maneuvered from ground level and onto the platform so as to be transported by the utility vehicle atop the carrier-platform device.
