  • Publication number: 20100163590
    Abstract: A receiver hitch modification for hauling cargo behind a vehicle and configured to mount on a hitch is disclosed. The invention embodies a coupling device interposed between a receiver hitch and a cargo hauler which allows rotation of the hauler left or right and thereby allows a heavy load to slide on to the hauler instead of having to be lifted from the ground up to the bed of the hauler. The receiver hitch includes a base, a frame pivotally mounted the base, and a basket rotatably supported on the frame. The frame is pivoted between loading and transport positions. The basket is rotatable substantially 180 degrees relative to the frame and can maintain indexed positions of rotation.
