A step apparatus comprising:
- a post device having a first end, a second end, opposing side walls, and a front wall;
- at least one step platform, the step platform comprising a rectangular loop and two parallel plates, having a first end and a second end, each of the parallel plates connecting on the first end to the opposing side walls, respectively, of the post device and on the second end to the rectangular loop, wherein the post device is separated from the rectangular loop by the parallel connecting plates;
- and
- a hitch connecting device, coupled to the first end of the post device.
A method of loading and unloading a wheeled device onto a transport vehicle comprising the steps of:
- providing a step apparatus having a post device, at least one step platform, and a hitch connecting device;
- providing a loading ramp;
- connecting the step apparatus and the loading ramp to the transport vehicle in close proximity and parallel to each other;
- and
- walking up the step apparatus while guiding the wheeled device on the loading ramp to load the wheeled device onto the transport vehicle.
