Abstract: A wheel-less carrying apparatus for use in conjunction with a self-propelled utility vehicle includes a frame that supports a removable load carrying body. The frame has a pair of spaced longitudinal beams and at least two lateral ribs secured to the longitudinal beams, the rib nearest the distal ends of the beams including at least one portion having a circular cross-section. The removable load carrying body has a continuous surface surrounded by an upwardly extending perimeter. A downwardly extending coupling member fixed to the body removably and pivotally engages the rib nearest the distal ends of the beams so that the body can be tilted with respect to the frame. Downward flanges along each side of the body for engage ends of the lateral ribs of the frame to provide lateral stability for the body.
