A carrier for handicapped vehicle comprises a fulcrum frame which is adapted to be coupled rigidly to a trailer hitch mounted at the rear of an automobile, truck, or van. A horizontal platform is mounted on the fulcrum frame for tilting movement about a tilt axis provided by the fulcrum frame from a horizontal position to an inclined position wherein one edge engages the ground. The platform is also pivotal about a second axis perpendicular to the tilt axis and includes casters at its rear edge for engaging the ground and permitting articulation of the platform about the second axis.

A carrier for a handicapped vehicle comprising: a first frame comprising an elongated fulcrum member having a forward end adapted to be rigidly connected to a trailer hitch and having a rear end, said first frame having an upstanding member rigidly connected to said fulcrum member and extending perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal axis of said fulcrum member; a horizontal platform resting on said fulcrum member; first connecting means moveably connecting said platform to said first frame member for tilting movement about said fulcrum member with said fulcrum member providing a tilt axis for said platform, said platform being tiltable about said tilt axis from a substantially horizontal position to an inclined position; said first connecting means having an elongated slot formed therein surrounding said upstanding member so as to permit said tilting movement of said platform between said horizontal and said inclined positions while at the same time preventing movement of said platform in an axial direction with respect to said fulcrum member; lock means for selectively locking said connecting means to said upstanding member when said platform is in said horizontal position so as to prevent tilting movement of said platform about said tilt axis.
