US Patent 11945411 Vehicle cargo carrier device

A vehicle cargo carrier device may include first support platform and a second support platform which may be coupled together via a connection bar. The first support platform may also be coupled to a first vertical support arm, and the second support platform may also be coupled to a second vertical support arm. A first arm bracket may couple the first vertical support arm to a first portion of a vehicle, such as to a first support arm of a vehicle hitch receiver that is coupled to the rear vehicle frame, and a second arm bracket may couple the second vertical support arm to a second portion of the vehicle, such as to a second support arm of the vehicle hitch receiver that is coupled to the rear vehicle frame. Preferably, the arm brackets may be coupled to the vehicle so that the arm brackets are positioned apart from the geometric centerline of the vehicle and any hitch receiver that may be coupled to the center of the vehicle.
