ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for detachably securing a hand truck having a base and a pair of side rails. The apparatus has a frame mounted to the vehicle. The frame has a pair of claws, each claw is pivotably mounted to the frame for rotatable movement between an open released position and a closed retained position. A bar is slideably carried by the frame for movement between a first position and a second position. The bar is slideably connected to the claws so that the claws pivot between the open/released position and the closed/retained position as the bar moves between the first position and the second position. The bar and claws are movable by movement of the hand truck. A latch secures the bar in the second position. A switch remote from the latch operates a release mechanism to release the latch.
