摘要

An apparatus (50) for securing a personal transport vehicle (PTV) such as a motorcycle or ATV to the bed of a truck includes a pair of elongated straight handlebar struts (51) telescopically adjustable to a length fixable by a first key lock (58). Each strut (51) has an upper hook (34) lockable by a second key lock (57) to a handlebar of a PTV, and a lower hook (56) securable to a truck bed, by a third key lock (59). The apparatus includes an elongated cross-lock arm (71) telescopically adjustable to a length fixable by a fourth, cross-lock arm key lock (76). Each cross-lock arm has at one end thereof a swivelable hook (79) for engaging a structural member of a PTV, and at the other end a fixed hook (74) for engaging a collar (65) protruding from the strut, the longitudinal position of which collar is adjustable on the strut. A pair of struts (51) and a pair of cross-lock arms (71) are used to secure a single vehicle, and a pair of vehicles is securable by a pair of struts and single cross-lock arm disposed between the vehicles.
