Abstract
An equipment carrier for a vehicle having a dump box and a tailgate framed by a pair of vertical stake pockets includes a carrier portion with a generally L-shaped cross section including a vertical rear wall joined to a horizontal floor, the rear wall having side edges framed by vertically projecting supports, each support having a laterally projecting pivot pin, and a bumper member secured to the back wall to separate the carrier portion from the tailgate of the vehicle, the carrier also including a pivot bracket portion having a pair of L-shaped pivot members, each member having a leg portion adapted to be inserted into one of the stake pockets, and a rearwardly extending portion having a slot adapted to pivotally retain one of the pivot pins of the carrier portion therein, and further having a keeper pin for retaining the pivot pins within the slots. As the dump box of the vehicle is raised, the carrier portion is lowered so that the floor rests on the ground. In this position, walk-behind turf equipment may be loaded upon the carrier. When transport is desired, the dump box is lowered, elevating the carrier portion.
