A vehicle receiver mounted cargo carrier is readily configured to transport bicycles, skis and poles, snowboards, canoe paddles and other cargo through the use of a vertical frame into which various rods may be placed, at locations most suited for the specific cargo. The rods are anchored through the use of a slide having keyhole shaped openings which mate into a circular reduction in the ends of the rods. Other structural components form anchor points for the cargo that also help to retain the cargo and act as theft deterrents. The carrier is designed to be free standing out of the vehicle receiver, and so may be used as a storage organizer for the cargo before, during and after transport. Prior to assembly, the components of the carrier are relatively two dimensional, so the carrier may be packaged, stocked and sold in compact, flat packaging. Alternative support struts offer additional methods of supporting the cargo.

Carrier for a trailer-hitch receiver with improved pin lock

A rescue sled adapted to be pulled by a snowmobile including a patient/material carrying section and an attendant support section. The patient material carrying section is configured to carry an injured person to be transported by the rescue sled from a remote, snow covered accident/crash sight to a location where the injured person can receive medical care. The attendant support section is designed to carry medical personnel who can attend to the injured person during transport. The rescue sled is supported for travel over rugged, snow covered terrain by a rear suspension assembly and a front suspension/steering assembly. The rear suspension assembly and front suspension/steering assembly both include left and right independent suspension units that provide the rescue sled with a smooth ride even at high towing speeds.
