Pickup Pivoting-Ramp System
Black pickup truck with ATV half in pickup bed & half on ramp that is sloping upward from the fender holding the ATV in place. Brown corn field in background.

Workers with leg, arm, or back impairments can use the receiver-hitch-mounted Pickup Pivoting-Ramp System, to load, transport, and unload his/her ATV or UTV without lifting or carrying ramps. The connected parallel, retractable ramps provide more than 16 square feet of loading surface, with the space between them and ground-clearance setting being adjustable. The system works as follows: drive up the ramps; when the vehicle's rear wheels pass the pivot point, its weight causes the ramps to pivot forward, after which one simply retracts the ramp into place for transport and ties down the vehicle. The system also reportedly leaves extra bed space in front of the ATV/UTV. Coming standard with the system are LED tail light, brake light, turn signals, and rear marker light; available accessories include cargo bed guards and a wall-hanging mount for storing.
