ABSTRACT:
The invention is a simple and convenient carrier structure for transporting 2 (two) or more ATVs or snowmobiles on a standard-sized pick-up truck. The carrier has a frame which is adapted to be secured on the box, or bed of the pick-up. The front of the frame is cantilevered to extend generally horizontally from the front of the box forward and above the cab with front decking to support a first vehicle horizontally above the pick-up cab. The back part of the carrier frame has back decking to support a second vehicle on an incline from near the top back of the cab to near the bottom back of the box. The back decking is pivotally mounted to the frame at the decking's front end, and may be supported by a rear transverse frame member also pivotally mounted to the carrier frame so that it may be raised and lowered and flipped upside-down in position to support the back decking at a variety of angles or to support a tent fabric for camping.
