Abstract
A gravity assisted lifting device which permits a load such as a folded wheelchair to be easily transferred between the cargo storage compartment of an unaltered passenger vehicle and the ground. The lifting device includes a pivotal frame, which raises and lowers the load between generally vertical and generally horizontal orientations, and a slide subassembly, which permits the load to be moved into or out of the storage compartment when in the horizontal orientation.
