Abstract

A truck bed loader including a frame that is configured to fit within a bed of a pickup truck. The frame has a first side rail and a second side rail that are parallel to each other, and the front ends of the first and second side rails are connected by a cross rail. The frame also has a first vertical post and a second vertical post. The first vertical post is connected to the rear end of the first side rail at a ninety-degree angle, and the second vertical post is connected to the rear end of the second side rail at a ninety-degree angle. A first main arm is rotatably attached to a top end of the first vertical post, and a second main arm is rotatably attached to a top end of the second vertical post. A first pair of hydraulic cylinders is configured to lift and lower the first and second main arms. A second pair of hydraulic cylinders controls various attachments to the distal ends of the first main arms.
