Loading and unloading apparatus for truck beds

摘要

Disclosed is an apparatus for moving cargo toward or away from the end of a truck bed. The device includes a cross bar that spans the width of the truck bed. The cross bar comprises a pair of caster wheels that allow the cross bar to travel in the furrows of the truck bed. Each caster wheel is rotatably attached to a plate that is slideably attached to the cross bar by means of a locking mechanism. In this way, the caster wheel can be moved along the width of the cross bar. The cross bar is attached to a telescopic handle that is adapted to lie flat in the furrows of the truck bed. The present invention may further comprise a divider wall that can be removably attached to the handle. The divider wall allows a user to organize the truck bed when carrying cargo.
