The supporting means 20-24 is arranged to support the first end 18 of the load bearing member 10 at a higher level above the mounting means 8 than the second end 19, such that the load bearing frame 1 may, in use, be mounted to the rim 2 of the cargo box area 4 with the first end 18 above a forwards portion 28 of the cargo box area 4 and the second end 19 above a rearwards portion 29 of the cargo box area 4. The load bearing member 10 comprises a pair of parallel beams 32, 33, wherein each beam 32, 33 comprises telescopic extensions 36, 37. The load bearing member 10 includes a pair of lateral supports (Figure 3, 46, 47) comprising telescopic lateral extensions (Figure 3, 48, 49). |
