ABSTRACT:
A carrier for transporting a pressurized container in the bed of a pickup truck is provided. The carrier is made up of a cradle and a positionable retaining ring attached to a support frame. The frame includes two substantially flat frame support members having angled flanges that form feet. The feet are adapted to overhang the end of the bed of the pickup truck in which the carrier is placed. When a tailgate of the pickup truck is closed, the feet are engaged such that the carrier is secured in place in the bed of the pickup truck and prevented from sliding in any direction during transport. The retaining ring is supported on telescoping rod members to be slidably adjustable to facilitate various sized containers. Optionally, the cradle is provided with a cargo lash that may be racheted to tightly secure the container to the carrier.
