The present invention provides apparatus, devices, methods, and configurations to carry and assist the loading and unloading of heavy loads or loads having irregular or elongated shapes such as ladders, lumber, personal recreation equipment including but not limited to surfboards, paddleboards, canoes, kayaks, skis, snowboards, bicycles, and other items to reduce effort and impediments to loading a vehicle's roof rack and to allow full utilization of the vehicle's receiver. The device can pivot into either the loading and unloading position or the transport position when a pin is removed from the device at a pivot point in its vertical member. The device is mounted to a hitch receiver extension which is secured to the vehicle's hitch receiver. The hitch receiver extension allows the vehicle to transport another apparatus such as a trailer or bike rack mounted to the hitch receiver extension.
