ABSTRACT:
A load carrier 12 for a motor load vehicle 10 has a rectangular frame 13, four legs 14 depending pivotally from the frame, and feet 16 at the lower ends of the legs. The legs are pivotal about longitudinal axes to allow adjustment in the transverse spacing of the feet 16 so as to fit vehicles having load carrying portion of differing widths.
The frame has longitudinal members 40.1, 40.2 and 40.3. Each longitudinal member is in two parts which are adjustably interconnected by a sleeve 42 to adjust the length of the member, thereby to render the carrier 12 adjustable in length to fit vehicles having load carrying portions of differing lengths.
A rear transverse member 43 can be removed or pivoted out of the way to facilitate loading and offloading from the rear of the vehicle.
