Easy-Lift

The Easy-Lift (not longer produced), which fit into the trunk of a car or bed of a pickup truck, could hoist a 50- pound or more load up to a safe lifting level, simply with the pull of a handle. A compressed gas spring extended to raise the Easy-Lift platform from the trunk or bed floor. Scissors-lift supports held the platform level to prevent the cargo from tipping.

Cost: $200 (new)
