Abstract: A device for assisting in loading heavy objects onto the load platform of a vehicle, such as a pick-up truck, comprising a frame for locating a pulling point near or above a plane established by a ramp between the load platform and the surface on which the motor vehicle is resting. The device may be provided with a roller adjacent a rear end of the load platform for reducing friction between an object being loaded and the junction of the load platform and the ramp. A pulling line capable of being extended between the pulling point and an object being loaded may be provided such that the object may be pulled up the ramp and onto the load platform, with the position of the pulling point pulling the object upwards from the plane of the ramp and load bed, such that friction between the object and the ramp and load bed is reduced.
