Abstract:
1. A receiver hitch-mountable utility cart comprising; a support frame for supporting a payload; a hitch arm rigidly attached to the support frame, the hitch arm shaped to engage a receiver hitch bar of an over-the-road vehicle; a wheelbase assembly with wheels for transporting the cart with the wheel on the ground; and a user-operable translation mechanism comprising a lever-operated load lift assembly connecting the wheelbase to the frame; characterized in that operating the lever of the load lift assembly raises or lowers the frame relative to the wheelbase assembly, such that the cart, with the support frame in an uppermost position, may be aligned and connected to the receiver hitch bar of the over-the-road vehicle, and the wheels may then be retracted to carry the cart entirely on the receiver hitch bar.
