Description

Vehicle carrier capable of detaching and lifting carts{omitted}

The present invention relates to a vehicle carrier. More specifically, it relates to a vehicle carrier capable of detaching and lifting a cart.

Various types of passenger cars, such as compact cars, sedans, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), and multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), have a certain amount of loading space inside the vehicle. Such a passenger car can carry a variety of objects by loading a load in a loading space including a trunk.

Items that are difficult to load inside the vehicle, such as bicycles, can also be loaded outside the vehicle. To this end, bicycle holders for vehicles have been released and commercialized, and marine leisure carriers such as kayaks are also being used.

On the other hand, among the loads, there are things that are difficult to load inside the vehicle, such as plants.

For example, a florist needs to display plants such as flowers, trees, and orchids while running a flower shop. To this end, florists regularly purchase these plants from nearby horticultural farms or horticultural markets.

In the case of a tall variety among purchased plants, it is not only physically impossible to load them inside a vehicle, but also difficult to transport to a vehicle due to their heavy weight. The problems that arise in the process of small self-employed people purchasing large plants from the horticultural market using their own car and transporting them to their stores are as follows.

First, it is difficult to carry such a large product in the horticultural market and then carry it inside the vehicle.

Second, there is a problem that it is impossible to mount it inside the vehicle due to the height of the plant.

Third, there is a problem that may cause damage to the plant when the plant is laid down and mounted after folding the seat of the vehicle.

Fourth, it is impossible to mount a tree that is larger than the length of the vehicle.

Fifth, when using a bicycle holder for a vehicle, the structure is not suitable for holding plant pots, and even if the vehicle is equipped with a bicycle holder and other holders, it is not easy to carry large products from the horticultural market and mount them on the holder. .

Sixth, even when using the existing car-mounted camping carrier, large products in the horticultural market must be transported to the camping carrier, and the shock caused by the bumps on the road transmitted to the wheel of the carrier during vehicle operation is transmitted to the plant pot as it is. There are problems that cause damage and breakage.

Because of these problems, when a delivery truck is used, it acts as a large cost burden for small self-employed people, and the cost is eventually passed on to consumers, resulting in another problem.
