ABSTRACT:
A utility platform is described that is attachable to the standard tubular hitch connector of a vehicle. The platform includes a central support beam that is mounted at one end to the tubular hitch connector. The support beam mounts a support panel for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis. A detent assembly interconnects the support beam and panel. It automatically operates to lock the panel in a horizontal carrying position. It is manually operable to unlock the panel and allow it to pivot to a tilted loading position. The panel is centered over the support beam and is substantially balanced thereon when in the horizontal carrying position.
