A lifting device for mounting to a vehicle includes a lifting surface having dimensions that fit a cargo area of the vehicle, the lifting surface being configured to carry a cargo; a telescoping assembly coupled to the vehicle and configured to horizontally extend by telescoping further than the vehicle; a lifting mechanism coupled to the telescoping assembly and to the lifting surface, the lifting mechanism being configured to move the lifting surface vertically to lift or lower the lifting surface. The lifting device further includes an actuating assembly in communication with the telescoping assembly and the lifting mechanism, the actuating assembly being configured to actuate the telescoping assembly to move horizontally in and out of the cargo area of the vehicle and to actuate the lifting mechanism to move vertically down to a loading surface and up to the cargo area of the vehicle.
