Abstract
A vehicle has a bed divided into a plurality of bays by means of dividers. Article carriers are constructed to be positioned in the bays by means of a loader-unloader such as a lift truck. The side walls of each article carrier converge downwardly so as to engage the tops of adjacent dividers and guide the article carriers into a chosen bay. The bed may be provided with a longitudinally extending tube which is engaged by the inner end of an article carrier to facilitate its being dropped into position. Each article carrier may be provided with at least one locking mechanism which automatically unlocks when engaged by a loader-unloader, and automatically locks into the bed of a truck when released by the loader-unloader after being positioned in a chosen bay.
