Abstract: A cargo container for a vehicle including an enclosure or movable supporting member that is connected by a linkage to the vehicle. The linkage may be used to shift the enclosure between a transport position above the roof and a loading position behind the vehicle. The linkage has a right side and a left side. Each side has a forward member that translates the front end of the enclosure in the fore-and-aft direction. A rearward pivoting member lifts portions of the enclosure behind the forward member upwardly to clear a rear corner of the vehicle as the enclosure is moved between the transport position and the loading position.
