ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for securing a load to a motor vehicle comprises at least two load holders which can be fixed to the vehicle body and which each have load securing elements directed in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle for fixing a load extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A clamping device is provided for fixing the respective load holder to an intermediate carrier which is fixedly connected or can be fixedly connected to the bodywork. The clamping device has clamping jaws which embrace a part of the intermediate carrier. The clamping jaws have a clamping opening matched to the profile of the intermediate carrier for substantially embracing it in the clamping position. The axial direction of the clamping opening extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the load securing elements.
