ABSTRACT:
A tool and material restraining platform for pickup trucks, which utilizes steel extruded into convoluted channels as the bed of the platform. Self-locking hardware devices are inserted therein, to provide a secure base from where chain link is placed under tension to restrain tools and materials of simple or complex and difficult shapes. This results in more reliable restraining methods than strapping, stretch cords, and ropes and the like. Furthermore, the hardware devices, adapt easy to use add-on and take-off options such as a rigid conduit container. In addition, the sides of the platform are made of aluminum for displaying unique patterns, logos, and custom designs, to achieve an enhanced appearance for the truck, as custom wheels do. Also in addition, for models equipped for use with truck bed caps, tool and material cradles are installed in the interior of the cap, to the mounting bolts of the platform, to utilize normally wasted space directly adjacent to the ceiling of the cargo cap.
