Abstract:
A device for loading objects into motor vehicles comprising a weight transfer foot that is adapted to removably attach to a roof section of a motor vehicle and a hook structure fixedly attached perpendicularly to the weight transfer foot, wherein the weight transfer foot has a slight arcuate shape that is concave down when the device is on the motor vehicle providing a cushioning resistance for the device, whereby when the weight transfer foot is attached to the roof section of a motor vehicle the hook structure hangs down below the roof and is available for supporting a heavy object, said weight transfer foot is adapted to be positioned such that it is aligned with and parallel to the longitudinal direction of the roof section to which it is removably attached rather than perpendicular to the roof section, in combination with a rope that is adapted to be attached to a heavy object, said rope removably attached to the hook structure and adapted to allow the heavy object to be levered up and into the vehicle.
