The present application includes a system and method of loading and transporting objects in remote areas. The system includes a hitch mount to engage a receiver on a vehicle. A lift arm is pivotally coupled to the hitch mount and is configured to operate between a first position and a second position through the use of a lifting member. The lifting member is optionally motorized and may receive energy through a connector in communication with the vehicle or receive energy through a battery associated with the lifting member. By articulating the lift arm, the attachment member is lowered to ground level to permit loading without needing to lift the object and raised for safe transportation. The weight of the system and any contents are carried by the vehicle directly through the receiver.
