The presently disclosed Lifter comprises a substantially level horizontal, partially or totally tracked, overhanging bar, which is supported by the roof of a vehicle. The tracked bar is held up against the upper door frames by a ratcheted strap over the roof and in between two open doors on each side of the vehicle. Another ratchet attached to the bar via a trolley is usable for lifting the object, and the trolley allows for its horizontal movement along the tracked bar. Particularly, the object may be an incapacitated person such as a patient. Even more particularly, the patient may be held and restrained in harness-type garment comprising a lifting loop. Generally, the Lifter may be used to lift any heavy object in and out of a vehicle using mechanical leverage. In some embodiments, the bar comprises two shorter C channels removably joined, or a shorter channel with a telescoping extension. Thus, the presently disclosed lifter is very easy to carry, store, and generally handle as an auto accessory.
