  • Patent number: 4954038
    Abstract: A portable and easily maneuverable two-tier storage rack for snowmobiles and the like includes a generally rectangular open framework including a lower horizontal frame member and an upper support platform, both of which are adapted to support a snowmobile, one above the other. The upper vehicle support platform is pivotally connected at one end to the upper portion of the framework between a downwardly inclined loading position in which position a snowmobile may be pulled upwardly onto the inclined platform and an upper storage position in which the other free end of the platform is raised to carry the snowmobile to an upper horizontal position. A second snowmobile may then be pulled onto the lower horizontal frame member for storage directly below the upper snowmobile. A first winch mounted on the rear of the storage rack is utilized to sequentially pull the first and second snowmobiles onto their respective supporting platforms.
