Abstract:

An easy access device to assist in loading and unloading cargo from the bed of a pick-up truck. The device includes two elongate side pieces, a head cross piece, and a lower adjustable cross piece. The device makes it unnecessary to get into and out of the bed of a pick-up truck to load or remove cargo. The device makes it easier to reach the cargo from the rear of the truck. The device has retractable handles to help move the cargo. Even if a bed cover is present, cargo is simply moved by the device into position to be loaded or unloaded. The device also divides the truck bed into compartments to allow orderly arrangement of cargo of various sizes.
