ABSTRACT:
A jack and tie-down system for the front end of a vehicle mounted box shaped cargo unit having a front wall and a transversely extended chamber means secured to the inner surface thereof. A pair of front jack assemblies each includes a horizontal support structure guidably mounted within the chamber means for movement from a storage position in the chamber means to an operating position projected outwardly from an associated end of the chamber means. A linearly extendible and retractible jack unit is releasably mounted at the outer end of each projected support member for adjustment into and out of ground engagement. When the cargo unit is to be transported the jack units are retracted and detached from their associated support members. Each jack unit is then received within a support member, and the resulting assembly stored in the chamber means within the transverse confines of the cargo unit. Coacting lock means on the cargo unit and vehicle body releasably lock the cargo unit to the vehicle body in response to movement of one of the support structures from the operating position therefor to its storage position.
