A sports equipment transporting apparatus is described. The apparatus is
designed to be put into a vehicle with a mid- to long-size body length
and is housed within a ramp housing. The ramp housing is two-tiered and
includes a slide-out ramp located within the upper tier, with the ramp
being mounted on a pair of guide tracks. The lower tier includes a
storage compartment and a spare tire compartment. The rear entry of the
vehicle is modified so that the top door panel becomes a roll-out door
panel, with two swinging doors attached that pivot outwards ninety
degrees. When the ramp is fully extended from the ramp housing, the ramp
angles downward and touches an external ground surface. Once a piece of
sports equipment has been placed on top of the ramp housing, a series of
tie-downs are utilized to keep the sports equipment in place.
