A lift for a hitch mounted cargo carrier has a linear actuator having fixed and moveable portion. A drive extends and retracts the moveable portion relative to the fixed portion along an axis of the linear actuator. A hitch mount is secured relative to the fixed portion that is sized to be received by a hitch receiver of a vehicle such that the axis is vertically oriented and the moveable portion extends from a bottom end of the fixed portion. A moveable hitch receiver is secured to a bottom end of the moveable portion, the moveable hitch receiver being positioned such that the receiver traverses the axis. The hitch mount and the moveable hitch receiver extend substantially perpendicularly to the axis and the hitch mount extends substantially anti-parallel to the moveable hitch receiver and on an opposite side of the linear actuator.
