The lift is urged above into a third position having the being positioned in a bed of the pickup. In this way the lift positions the off-road vehicle in the bed of the pickup. A plurality of rollers is provided and each of the rollers is rotatably coupled to the lift. Each of the rollers rolls along the bed of the pickup for positioning the lift between the first position, the second position and the third position.

A lift cart assembly being configured to roll and off road vehicle into a bed of a pickup, said assembly comprising:
- a lift being positionable in a first position having said lift angling downwardly from a tailgate of a pickup wherein said lift is configured to have an off road vehicle driven thereon, said lift being positionable in a second position having said lift being horizontally oriented on the tailgate wherein said lift is configured to lift the off-road vehicle upwardly from the ground, said lift being urged above into a third position having said lift being positioned in a bed of the pickup wherein said lift is configured to position the off-road vehicle in the bed of the pickup, said lift including a pair of ramps, each of said ramps having a first end, a second end and a first lateral edge extending therebetween, each of said ramps angling downwardly from the tailgate of the pickup when said lift is positioned in said first position having said first end corresponding to each of said ramps abutting ground wherein each of said ramps is configured to have the off-road vehicle drive thereon;
- and
- a plurality of rollers, each of said rollers being rotatably coupled to said lift wherein each of said rollers is configured to roll along the bed of the pickup for positioning said lift between said first position, said second position and said third position, each of said rollers being positioned on said first lateral edge of an associated one of said ramps, said plurality of rollers including a pair of first rollers and a pair of second rollers, said first rollers being positioned between said second end of said ramps and said second rollers.
A lift cart assembly being configured to roll and off road vehicle into a bed of a pickup, said assembly comprising:
- a lift being positionable in a first position having said lift angling downwardly from a tailgate of a pickup wherein said lift is configures to have an off road vehicle driven thereon, said lift being positionable in a second position having said lift being horizontally oriented on the tailgate wherein said lift is configured to lift the off-road vehicle upwardly from the ground, said lift being urged into a third position having said lift being positioned in a bed of the pickup wherein said lift is configured to position the off-road vehicle in the bed of the pickup, said lift comprising:
- a pair of ramps, each of said ramps having a first end, a second end and a first lateral edge extending therebetween, each of said ramps angling downwardly from the tailgate of the pickup when said lift is positioned in said first position having said first end corresponding to each of said ramps abutting ground wherein each of said ramps is configured to have the off-road vehicle drive thereon, each of said ramps being horizontally oriented on the tailgate of the pickup when said lift is positioned in said second position, each of said ramps lying in the bed of the pickup when said lift is positioned in said third position;
- a plurality of supports, each of said supports being coupled between each of said ramps having said ramps being spaced apart from each other, said plurality of supports being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said first end and said second end along said first lateral edge corresponding to each of said ramps;
- and
- an upright being coupled to and extending upwardly from one of said supports being aligned with said second end of said ramps, said upright being centrally positioned between said ramps wherein said upright is configured to have a winch line from the off-road vehicle extended therethrough when said lift is positioned in said first position thereby facilitating the winch line to draw the off-road vehicle upwardly onto said ramps;
- and
- a plurality of rollers, each of said rollers being rotatably coupled to said lift wherein each of said rollers is configured to roll along the bed of the pickup for positioning said lift between said first position, said second position and said third position, each of said rollers being positioned on said first lateral edge of an associated one of said ramps, said plurality of rollers including a pair of first rollers and a pair of second rollers, said first rollers being positioned between said second end of said ramps and said second rollers, said second rollers abutting the tailgate when said lift is positioned in said first position wherein said second rollers are configured to inhibit said lift from sliding downwardly off of the tailgate, each of said second rollers acting as a fulcrum when the off-road vehicle is fully driven on to said lift thereby facilitating said lift to be urged into said second position, each of said first rollers and each of said second rollers rolling along the bed when said lift is urged into said third position.
