ABSTRACT:
A cargo carrier assembly (or "carrier") is externally carried at the rear of a truck. The carrier comprises a frameless L-shaped support beam in combination with a wheeled container specifically adapted to be pivotably loaded onto the rack by using pivot latches which matingly receive locking pins fixedly secured to the container. The L-shaped support beam ("L") comprises (i) an elongate rectilinear rail connecting said L to the truck, (ii) an overlying strut telescopable on the rail, and (iii) a rectilinear transverse strut integral with the overlying strut. Only a portion of the base of the container is either directly supported on the struts of the L-shaped support beam or supported on pivot pins. Though the container may be secured with only two pivot latches, it is preferred to use, in addition, an attachment latch. The width of the wheeled container is chosen so that it can be rolled in an inclined position through a doorway of a conventional dwelling, and the length is chosen so that, when loaded on the support beam the container does not obscure the tail-lights of the truck.
